In the Saleroom: Edgar Degas’s Danseuses

<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> <p>Edgar Degas&rsquo;s <em>Danseuses</em>, a richly-textured pastel drawing from 1896, was the top lot of Christie&rsquo;s 3 November Impressionist and Modern Evening Sale, selling for $10,722,500. This tightly-cropped view of two dancers at rest after a performance is remarkable both for the expressive vigor in the artist&rsquo;s lines and the sheer brilliance of his densely layered colors.
