This is a very famous Degas painting, a little different from most by him. It's dark and instead of showing ballerina's practicing, they are preparing for a recital. The colors and lighting are also very different from the usual - much darker and lacking in windows. And while most others seem to be still and tranquil, this has a certain writhing energy that can make you feel the nervousness and anticipation of the ballerinas before they go onstage.
