Degas ballet dancer sculpture

Little Dancer Aged Fourteen, one of Edgar Degas' most famous works, is to be sold at auction.

The piece is one of few bronze casts in private hands with the majority housed in museums including Tate London and Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Helena Newman from Sotheby's called it Degas' "most important and iconic sculpture".
She added: "The artist's ambitious and highly innovative work marks the pinnacle of his achievements as a sculptor, and its forthcoming sale represents a rare opportunity to acquire an icon of Impressionist art."
