Description
Portrait of Madame Dietz-Monnin by Edgar Degas brings the sitter’s poised gesture and richly folded dress into a study of light and line. Her raised hand draws attention toward her face, while broad white highlights pick out the fabric against the warm brown ground.
Dark strokes gather around her hair, the fan and the sweeping folds of her skirt. Areas of lightly worked paper give the figure room to breathe, balancing the dress’s weight with the immediacy of the drawing.
