Perhaps known primarily for his numerous studies of ballerinas, French \'father\' of Impressionism Edgar Degas originally drew the piece depicted on these ladies Hot Sox Artist Collection Degas Study Dancer Cotton Socks in 1878. The socks are woven from a cotton rich blend, in full colour, reflecting the subtle pastel crayon shades in the famous work \'The Dance Studio\', These artistic, great quality socks are part of the HotSox Famous Artist Series, continuing an obsession the New York-based company has had with art since its inception in 1971.
