The joke is, of course, that this painting is based on a work by Edgar Degas, a French impressionist. @purplepumpkin is currently posting daily doses of art, so perhaps she might know more details about which work it is.
Thanks for the tagging :)
Edgar Degas was nicknamed Painter of the Dancers, he's painted or drawn 1500 pieces representing dancers, and also sculpted some. He said he wasn't obsessed with dancers, it was simply a great occasion to render movement and details of fabric.
This specific piece is an adorable interpretation of Two dancers on scene (Deux danseuses sur scène), 1874.
