Degas Little Dancer of Fourteen Years Miniature Statue – Pocket Art Ballerina

A Pocket-Size Degas Ballerina for Desks, Shelves, and Gifts

This Degas Little Dancer miniature statue is a pocket-sized museum replica of Edgar Degas’ iconic ballerina Little Dancer of Fourteen Years, La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans. The figure is inspired by Little Dancer of Fourteen Years. Degas captured a young student dancer in a ballet pose. The posture feels disciplined and self-contained. The result is both tender and serious.

Degas was captivated by the energy and grace of Parisian dancers and entertainers, often exploring their forms and movements in his art. The Little Dancer stands as a tribute to the young performers of Paris, showcasing their dedication and strength while offering a glimpse into the world of 19th-century ballet.

At 4.25 inches tall, this Degas Little Dancer miniature statue fits easily on a desk or bookshelf. It is also a lovely gift for a dance recital. It is perfect for a young ballerina who loves ballet history. The miniature scale makes it easy to collect and display.

Why Degas Modeled Dancers

Degas returned to dancers because they offered repeated movement. He explored how bodies learn through routine. He also explored how weight shifts in a held pose. This Degas ballerina miniature captures that study.

The pose is elegant, but it is also practical. You can imagine a teacher counting time. You can imagine the dancer holding the line. Degas often focused on effort behind beauty.
