The "Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer" by Edgar Degas, with the pert expression and upturned nose, is one of the most famous sculptures in the world, and there are 28 bronze copies around the world! The one I painted is from the Musee d'Orsay.
The sculpture is two-thirds life size and was originally sculptured in wax. It is dress in a real bodice, tutu, and ballet slippers and has a wig of real hair. The tutus worn by the bronzes vary from museum to museum. For instance, the one at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC has a skimpy tutu.
By the way, "Degas's Little Dancer" is an infinity painting. It keeps going!
