Edgar Degas, Dancer Touching Her Earring, 1945 (after)
By Edgar Degas
Located in Southampton, NY
This exquisite lithograph after Edgar Degas (1834–1917), titled Danseuse touchant sa boucle d’oreille (Dancer Touching Her Earring), originates from the 1945 folio Degas, Ten Ballet Sketches. Published by The Studio Publications, Inc., New York, rendered and printed by Albert Carman, City Island, 1945, this work reflects Degas’s sensitive mastery of line, movement, and intimate observation, capturing the grace, poise, and psychological immediacy that define his iconic ballet imagery. In Danseuse touchant sa boucle d’oreille (Dancer Touching Her Earring), Degas reveals gesture and inner emotion through economical contour and lyrical nuance.
Executed as a lithograph and pochoir on velin paper, this work measures 17 x 13 inches (43.18 x 33.02 cm). Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. Rendered and printed by Albert Carman, City Island, one of the notable American ateliers specializing in fine art lithography during the mid-20th century.
Artwork Details:
Artist: After Edgar Degas (1834–1917)
Title: Danseuse touchant sa boucle d’oreille (Dancer Touching Her Earring), from Degas, Ten Ballet Sketches, 1945
Medium: Lithograph and pochoir on velin paper
Dimensions: 17 x 13 inches (43.18 x 33.02 cm)
Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued
Date: 1945
Publisher: The Studio Publications, Inc., New York
Printer: Albert Carman, City Island, 1945
Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium
Provenance: From the 1945 folio Degas, Ten Ballet Sketches, published by The Studio Publications, Inc., New York
Notes:
Excerpted from the album, Born in Paris in 1834, Edgar Degas lived, and surely loved the life of that city during most of his years. These continued somewhat sadly beyond those of most of his friends— into the debacle of the first World War, during which he died in 1917. Judging by the frequency with which he used them as models, he must have had an especial admiration for the ballet girls who followed a profession that at the time brought none of the glory and prosperity which attend it today. New aspects of the human body, revealed in movement, fascinated him. But his occupation with the simply anatomical side of his subjects never resulted in a cold interpretation. On the contrary there is a warmth and sympathy that pervades all of his work. The drawings here represent the painter in one important phase of his multi-sensitive view of life; and permit an insight which a more ambitious work might not do-into the operation of the creative process, the artist's transformation of reality as it passes through the mesh of his sensibilities. The Edition of this Portfolio is limited to MMMD examples. Rendered by Albert Carman.
About the Publication:
Degas, Ten Ballet Sketches, published in 1945 by The Studio Publications, Inc., New York, stands as one of the most elegant and scholarly mid-century American fine art folios devoted to the ballet imagery of Edgar Degas. Conceived as a high-quality interpretive portfolio, the album presents a series of lithograph-and-pochoir renderings based on Degas’s original drawings, executed with exceptional attention to tonal subtlety, contour fidelity, and the emotional interiority that defines the artist’s draftsmanship. Rendered and printed by Albert Carman on City Island, the publication embodies an American postwar effort to restore and celebrate European masterworks through meticulous handcraft and artisanal color application, honoring Degas’s distinctive line and the atmospheric delicacy of his studio-based studies. Produced in a substantial edition of MMMD examples, the portfolio offered audiences rare access to Degas’s private working drawings—images rarely seen outside institutional collections—while exemplifying the technical refinement and interpretive care characteristic of Carman’s workshop. Today, Degas, Ten Ballet Sketches remains a sought-after historical publication, valued for its craft, fidelity to Degas’s aesthetic, and its role in preserving and disseminating the artist’s intimate ballet imagery in a beautifully executed mid-century fine art format.
About the Artist:
Edgar Degas (1834–1917) was a French painter, draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor whose groundbreaking fusion of classical draftsmanship, modern experimentation, and psychological depth helped define the trajectory of Western art, positioning him as one of the most influential figures of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; renowned for his depictions of ballet dancers, racehorses, theater scenes, cafe life, domestic interiors, milliners, laundresses, and women at their toilette, Degas reimagined observational realism through radical compositional innovation—employing extreme cropping, asymmetrical framing, oblique viewpoints, and dramatic lighting that anticipated photographic and cinematic language long before these technologies shaped visual culture, and although associated with Impressionism, he rejected plein-air spontaneity in favor of studio-based discipline rooted in the linear precision of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, the expressive chromaticism of Eugene Delacroix, and the modernity of Edouard Manet while also drawing inspiration from Japanese ukiyo-e prints, classical sculpture, and early photography; his independent artistic philosophy resonated with and helped shape the innovations of Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, whose explorations of movement, form, dream logic, abstraction, and conceptualism all find antecedents in Degas’s investigations into seriality, temporality, and the fragmented figure, and his pioneering use of pastel, monotype, and wax sculpture fundamentally transformed each medium, influencing artists from Henri Matisse, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and Giacomo Manzu to Paula Rego, contemporary realists, experimental photographers, and choreographers; his works are held in nearly every major museum collection worldwide—including the Musee dOrsay, the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Courtauld Institute, and the National Gallery, London—affirming his central place in the history of art, and the highest auction record for Degas was achieved at Sothebys London on February 3, 2015, when Danseuses en Bleu sold for 37,033,000 GBP, cementing his status as one of the most sought-after and enduringly significant artists of the Western canon.

Figure and Phallus: erotic nude drawing of woman in heels in rainbow of colors
Located in New York, NY
This etching features a nude woman in high heels. Whipping her head to the left, she gazes intently past the viewer through a wild tangle of tresses. A sunhat with a bow nearly floats off her head, a tongue-in-cheek nod to modesty. Taking a wide stance, she straddles a comically large phallus, which springs up eagerly from the ground like a plant. Unusually, this etching was drawn directly onto the plate from the artist’s imagination and not from a life model. This spontaneity is visible around the woman’s bust and arms, where Oldenburg sketched several variations of her anatomy, giving the impression of a figure in movement. Beside her left breast, Oldenburg extends this halo of lines by cheekily doodling a small, floating phallus.
Paper 36 x 27.5 in. / 91.4 x 69.2 cm. Plate 23.5 x 17.7 in. / 59.7 x 45.1 cm.
Etching in one color on white, thick, slightly textured Wookey Hole handmade paper watermarked with the artist’s signature. Signed by the artist and dated 1975 lower right in pencil. The edition of 60 includes ten prints in each of six different ink colors: Indigo blue, vermilion, mauve, burnt sienna, astral blue, and yellow-ochre. A copy of each color is available: this listing is for one copy in the color of your choice.
As recorded in the artist’s unpublished notes: “In 1974 an ambitious project for a suite of large-scale etchings was hatched with Paul Cornwall-Jones, for production by Maurice Payne in Petersburg Press’s new Pembroke studios in London. The project would consist of meticulous transcriptions of a certain group of drawings...

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Helen Hyde (1868-1919) was a pioneer American artist best known for advancing Japanese woodblock printmaking in the United States and for bridging Western and Japanese artistic traditions. Hyde was born in Lima, New York, but after her father died in 1872, her family relocated to Oakland, California, where she spent much of her youth.
Hyde pursued formal art education in the United States and Europe. She enrolled in the San Francisco School of Design, where she took classes from the Impressionist painter Emil Carlsen; two years later, she transferred to the Art Students League in New York, studying there with Kenyon Cox. Eager to expand her artistic repertoire, Hyde traveled to Europe, studying under Franz Skarbina in Berlin and Raphael Collin in Paris. While in Paris, she first encountered Japanese ukiyo-e prints, sparking a lifelong fascination with Japanese aesthetics. After ten years of study, Hyde returned to San Francisco, where she continued to paint and began to exhibit her work.
Hyde learned to etch from her friend Josephine Hyde in about 1885. Her first plates, which she etched herself but had professionally printed, represented children. On sketching expeditions, she sought out quaint subjects for her etchings and watercolors. In 1897, Hyde made her first color etchings—inked á la poupée (applying different ink colors to a single printing plate)—which became the basis for her early reputation. She also enjoyed success as a book illustrator, and her images sometimes depicted the children of Chinatown.
After her mother died in 1899, Hyde sailed to Japan, accompanied by her friend Josephine, where she would reside, with only brief interruptions, until 1914. For over three years, she studied classical Japanese ink painting with the ninth and last master of the great Kano school of painters, Kano Tomonobu. She also studied with Emil Orlik, an Austrian artist working in Tokyo. Orlik sought to renew the old ukiyo-e tradition in what became the shin hanga “new woodcut prints” art movement. She immersed herself in the study of traditional Japanese printmaking techniques, apprenticing with master printer Kanō Tomonobu. Hyde adopted Japanese tools, materials, and techniques, choosing to employ the traditional Japanese system of using craftsmen to cut the multiple blocks and execute the exacting color printing of the images she created. Her lyrical works often depicted scenes of family domesticity, particularly focusing on women and children, rendered in delicate lines and muted colors.
Through her distinctive fusion of East and West, Hyde’s contributions to Western printmaking were groundbreaking. At a time when few Western women ventured to Japan, she mastered its artistic traditions and emerged as a significant figure in the international art scene.
Suffering from poor health, she returned to the United States in 1914, moving to Chicago. Having found restored health and new inspiration during an extended trip to Mexico in 1911, Hyde continued to seek out warmer climates and new subject matter. During the winter of 1916, Hyde was a houseguest at Chicora Wood, the Georgetown, South Carolina, plantation illustrated by Alice Ravenel Huger Smith in Elizabeth Allston Pringle’s 1914 book A Woman Rice Planter. The Lowcountry was a revelation for Hyde. She temporarily put aside her woodcuts and began creating sketches and intaglio etchings of Southern genre scenes and African Americans at work. During her stay, Hyde encouraged Smith’s burgeoning interest in Japanese printmaking and later helped facilitate an exhibition of Smith’s prints at the Art Institute of Chicago.
During World War I, Hyde designed posters for the Red Cross and produced color prints extolling the virtues of home-front diligence.
In ill health, Hyde traveled to be near her sister in Pasadena a few weeks before her death on May 13, 1919. She was buried in the family plot near Oakland, California.
Throughout her career, Hyde enjoyed substantial support from galleries and collectors in the States and in London. She exhibited works at the St. Louis Exposition in 1897, the Pan-American Exhibition in Buffalo in 1901, the Tokyo Exhibition for Native Art (where she won first prize for an ink drawing) in 1901, the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exhibition in Seattle in 1909 (received a gold medal for a print), the Newark Museum in 1913, a solo show at the Chicago Art Institute in 1916, and a memorial exhibition in 1920, Detroit Institute of Arts, Color Woodcut Exhibition in 1919, New York Public Library, American Woodblock Prints...
