naar edgar degas - Statue, veertien jarige danseresje - 66 cm - Bronze wood tutu fabric

The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer (French: La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans) is a sculpture begun around 1880 by Edgar Degas, depicting a young student at the dance school of the Paris Opera Ballet, a Belgian girl named Marie van Goethem.

Because Degas’s eyesight deteriorated rapidly after he turned fifty, he increasingly had to rely on his sense of touch.
Sculpture therefore proved to be a godsend.
Although during this final period of his life he showed his work to almost no one, after spending two years working on The Little Dancer, he nevertheless decided to submit it to the Impressionist exhibition in Paris.

The Belgian dancer Marie van Goethem was 14 when she posed for Edgar Degas.
