From Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City:
This pastel is one of eighteen variants on the composition that Degas made in the late 1880s and early 1890s, a testament to his fascination with replicating and multiplying images. He also repeated forms within the scene: the model’s bent left leg closely echoes the shape and line of her extended arms.
