How much is a Degas ballerina worth?
1 Answer
How much a Degas ballerina may be worth depends on its condition and other factors. In 2022, a cast made after Degas's original Little Dancer sold for $41.6 million at auction. The original Little Dancer is in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Though no valuation for this piece has ever been shared, it is likely worth significantly more. If you own one of the bronze casts of the piece, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can provide you with a valuation. Find a diverse assortment of Edgar Degas art on 1stDibs.
