Edgar Degas The Star Dancer with Lace Trim Tile

This famous painting by Edgar Degas features a young dancer who is cast in the spotlight as a prima ballerina, while other dancers dressed in blue leotards and skirts rehearse nearby. Degas, whose full name was Hilaire Germain Edgar Degas, is believed to have painted this masterpiece in France during 1879 and 1881. This design features a frame of blush faux lace trim around a reprint of this famous painting. Degas is a French Impressionist artist, who thought of his style as more of a realist, famous for his pastel drawings and oil paintings. Although he's famous for painting and sculpting dancers and dancing, some of his work depicts everyday chores and routines. This public domain painting is part of the digital collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
