Wednesday with Edgar Degas!
Three paintings featuring ballet master Jules Perrot, two are variations of the same scene. In all three Perrot is resting his hands on his large baton which he used to beat time for the dancers.
First is the "ballet class" started in 1871 but not finished until 1874; one in Paris and a somewhat different version made by Degas now in New York. These are followed by the "ballet rehearsal."
