Description
Edmond Duranty by Edgar Degas presents the sitter in a relaxed, reflective pose, his head supported by one hand. The cool blue ground sets off the dark outline of his face and clothing, while pale highlights bring the features forward.
The tilted head and reclining body give the portrait a conversational informality. Loose, searching lines preserve the immediacy of observation, allowing the paper’s color to take an active part in the composition.
