Degas "The Dancing Class" (19th) Wall Decal (3 Sizes Available)

Now available as a high-quality Wallhogs wall decal, The Dancing Class by Edgar Degas brings the charm and discipline of 19th-century ballet directly to your space. Painted around 1870, this was Degas’ very first ballet-themed work—marking the beginning of a lifelong fascination with dancers and the behind-the-scenes world of the Paris Opéra.

Rendered in oil on wood, the piece captures a quiet yet dynamic moment inside a rehearsal studio. At its heart stands Joséphine Gaujelin (or Gozelin), gracefully poised at center stage, surrounded by fellow ballerinas mid-practice. The scene is rich in detail and motion, with scattered tutus, subtle gestures, and the ever-watchful eye of the ballet master evoking the rhythm and rigor of the dancer’s daily routine.

Our Wallhogs wall decal version is digitally printed in ultra-high resolution on peel-and-stick fabric, faithfully preserving the brushstrokes, muted tones, and delicate lighting that define Degas’ early masterpiece. Choose from multiple decal materials—ideal for smooth walls, textured surfaces, or even reusable applications—making this a perfect fit for dance studios, bedrooms, or artistic spaces.

Celebrate the elegance of ballet and the genius of Edgar Degas with a wall decal that turns any room into a window into the Paris Opéra. Produced in the USA with fast turnaround, optional electronic proofing, and free shipping on orders over $99—Wallhogs makes it easy to bring timeless art to life on your walls.
