After Edgar Degas’s death in 1917, a large group of sculptures were discovered in his studio, most of them modeled in wax. With one exception, the works had never been exhibited during his lifetime and were virtually unknown to his contemporaries. Parisian foundry A. A. Hébrard eventually cast 74 of the figures into bronze, and three of the resulting sculptures in the collection of the Art Institute: Dancer Ready to Dance, Right Foot Forward , Arabesque , and Woman Arranging Her Hair .
