Theater Box (1885). Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917). Pastel. Hammer Museum.The upper half offers magical effects of color and movement—dancers in mid-performance crowd the stage in vividly colored tutus. In contrast, the bottom half is sparser but no less riveting. Significantly darker than the stage in the background, the woman in the theater box contains an enigma: is she alone, or whose arm appears to her left? Busier and sparser is enough to capture our attention. -- source link
