Gaiety Stage Door

The artwork Gaiety Stage Door is a print created by Edgar Degas in 1879. Currently, it's housed in the National Gallery of Art. The artwork measures 0.222 meters in width and 0.18 meters in height.

The print captures a fleeting moment in front of the Gaiety Theatre's stage door. Degas, known for his depictions of Parisian life, presents a snapshot of bustling activity with figures coming and going. A horse-drawn carriage waits in the foreground, while individuals gather near the doorway, suggesting a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the theater world. The artist's use of loose, sketch-like lines adds to the sense of immediacy and movement.
