A beautiful Degas pastel, The Dance Examination, 1880

When I think of the Denver Art Museum, this is one of the works I immediately recall. I have loved it since I first saw it when I was at university. Later, when I was the Gates Foundation Curator of Paintings and Sculpture at the museum, I gazed at this pastel often and fondly.

I still love it!
