Description
Marguerite De Gas rests her head lightly against one hand, meeting the viewer with a calm, thoughtful gaze. Dark crosshatched surroundings bring her face forward, while lively lines describe the folds of her clothing and the soft mass of fabric before her.
Edgar Degas made this etched and drypoint portrait of his sister between 1860 and 1862. Its close framing and informal pose give the image a familial intimacy, balancing the spontaneity of a study with sustained attention to expression.
