“I do believe in an everyday sort of magic – the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.”
— Charles de Lint

Le Ballet (1891). Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917). Oil on cradled panel.
In Le Ballet four ballerinas are captured on point in brightly coloured garb.
Gliding in front of a painted backdrop with a landscape of rolling hills, the stage is separated from the viewer by the bulbous head of a cello.
In Degas’ earliest paintings of dance performances he often incorporated orchestral or audience elements.
This may be the last composition of dancers which includes components of the orchestra.
