舞台中央 Centre stage

一位芭蕾舞者独自在舞台上,张开双臂,单脚站立,好像正在谢幕。

A ballerina dances alone on stage, arms open, balanced on one foot, as if taking her bow.

从高处看 From above

我们像是坐在高处的包厢里,从上往下看着舞台。

We seem to look down on the stage from above, as if from a box high in the theatre.

侧幕里 In the wings

侧幕里还有几位舞者在等候,只露出半个身子。

In the wings, other dancers wait, only half visible.

穿黑衣的男人 The man in black

侧幕里站着一个穿黑衣的男人,脸被布景挡住了。他是谁,画里没有说。

A man in black stands in the wings, his face hidden by the scenery. The painting doesn't tell us who he is.

单版画上的粉彩 Pastel over monotype

德加先在金属板上画好,压印出唯一的一张“单版画”,再在上面用粉彩上色。

Degas first painted on a metal plate and pressed it onto paper to make a single print, a monotype, then worked over it in pastel.

卡耶博特的收藏 From Caillebotte's collection

这幅画也曾经属于卡耶博特。1896年,它随他的遗赠进入了法国国家收藏。

This work also belonged to Caillebotte. In 1896 it entered the French national collection as part of his bequest.

故事 · The story

舞台上的一刻 A moment on stage

德加画过很多次芭蕾舞者。这一幅,他把镜头对准了舞台中央独舞的那一刻。

Degas painted ballet dancers many times. Here he focuses on a single moment: a dancer alone at centre stage.

舞台和幕后 Stage and wings

画面同时有舞台上的光彩,和侧幕里的等待。舞台中央的明星,和侧幕里看不清脸的人,出现在同一幅画里。

The picture holds both the glamour of the stage and the waiting in the wings: the star at centre stage, and figures in the wings whose faces we cannot see.
