AskDegas Reproductions

We here at AskDegas.com have searched for years and have finally collected a unique niche of superior Degas reproductions that we are proud to share with you today. Many of these are licensed from museums around the world and listed below, are the museums and materials that have made this possible. Degas was mainly a sculptor, printmaker, and painter, but our selection has gone beyond his vision and has attained a broader scope of adaptation.
Degas Horse at Trough
Degas Horse at Trough
In the early 1860’s, Edgar Degas (1834-1917) created one of his earliest horse sculptures, in brown wax with reddish highlights (which created a flesh texture). Later in 1920, a bronze cast was made and the Metropolitan Museum has the “Degas Horse at Trough” in its collection. The original wax model has an armature from ground through horse. The artist’s tool marks etched into the original wax are still evident on the horse, especially on its mane. Since the later versions are made from a stronger material - bronze or bonded bronze, no armature is needed. This sculpture is made from bonded bronze, bonded bronze base, licensed reproduction. 6.5"H x 8.5"L. (4532)
