In the present work, Degas appears to have used a working method analogous to his pastel-reworked monotypes. A lightly inked impression of the fifth state of the etching was abraded to increase the area of glare from the two spotlights. Pastel and graphite were then used freely to revise the composition. A fifth dancer, whose face and arm can be seen in the profile to the right in normal impressions of this state, has been covered over with pastel; the contour of the flat foreground has been extended with graphite into the lower left corner and up to a higher level at right; and, among other revisions, a profil-perdu has been added to the dancer furthest to the right. Delteil indicates that this etching is rare in all states.
