Virginie Being Admired While the Marquis Cavalcanti Looks On

Edgar Degas, circa 1876/1877

The artwork shows a scene with a central female figure in a ballet dress with orange accents, standing with her back and profile visible. Her hair is styled up and decorated with red elements. Surrounding her are several men in formal attire, including top hats and dark suits. One man is standing in the background with a visible beard. The setting is dimly lit, with soft lighting from above. The figures are rendered in a sketch-like style.
