EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait de Femme" and created by the renowned French artist Edgar Degas in 1881-85, showcases his mastery of pastel on paper. Measuring at 30.7x23.5 cm, this artwork is a true testament to Degas' impressionistic style. The subject of the portrait is a mysterious woman with an air of suspicion surrounding her. Her quarter-length figure and stern expression convey a sense of seriousness and confidence. With piercing blue eyes and a neatly styled hairdo, she exudes an aura of self-assurance. Dressed in black attire with a bow adorning her neck, the woman's somber appearance adds to the intrigue captured within this piece. The fine attention to detail in her clothing and accessories reflects Degas' meticulous approach to portraiture. Set against a neutral background, the focus remains solely on the enigmatic female figure as she looks directly into the camera lens. This direct gaze further intensifies the viewer's curiosity about her temperament and story. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this exceptional artwork exemplifies Degas' contribution to impressionism during late nineteenth-century France. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate art enthusiasts who appreciate both its technical brilliance and emotional depth. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this exquisite print from Fine Art Finder for all admirers of Degas' work to cherish for years to come.
