Compare this work to Dancer at the Bar, c.1885 by Edgar Degas.

If you look closely at this drawing, you can see that the right arm and foot of the dancer have been moved. Traces of the lines Degas originally drew are visible allowing the drawing to show the physical movement of the dancer. Does the sculpture you are standing in front of showcase a similar feeling of movement?
