| Dancers in the Rotunda at the Paris Opera, 1895 Edgar Degas French, 1834-1917 Oil on canvas 34-7/8 x 37-3/4 in. (88.6 x 95.9 cm) Norton Simon Art Foundation M.1968.25.P © 2012 Norton Simon Art Foundation On view This dazzling painting gives very clear evidence of Degas' working methods. The artist has reworked the legs and arms of the dancers on the left, but rather than paint over the extra legs and arms, he has reinforced his later additions with black and brown outlines. In addition, the thumbprints left in the paint surface on the foreground figure indicate the extent to which he used his hands to fashion the medium. View Provenance
