Modeled in 1880 after a young Belgian ballet dancer of the Paris Opera Ballet Dance School, this Edgar Degas dancer is statue decor with a richly artistic history. Often referred to as the most famous dancer in the world, the Edgar Degas ballerina, bucking the artistic trend of the time, wasn't an elegant lady but simply one of the young "opera rats" who donned a dancer costume to work her way out of poverty. Our little dancer comes in two sizes and is cast in three dimensions in quality designer resin with a green bronze finish. While both dancers are decorative statues that capture the creative spirit of the dance and the hearts of all those who have loved it, our yard-tall version is distinctly suited as a gallery or garden focal point.
