" Untitled-(Dancers With The Red And Yellow Skirts)" by Edgar Degas is a very attractive painting from his collection of dancing partners.

This painting represents the most ambitious paintings Degas devoted to the theme of the dance. At the beginning of his career, Degas wanted to be a history painter, a calling for which he was well prepared by his rigorous academic training and close study of classic art. In his early thirties, he changed course, and by bringing the traditional methods of a history painter to bear on contemporary subject matter, he became a classical painter of modern life.
