Description
The Milliner by Edgar Degas brings the viewer close to the work of arranging a hat. A woman bends over a broad red counter, one hand lifted toward the dark, decorated brim, while a second figure appears behind her against a blue background.
Loose strokes of blue, ochre, and black keep the surface lively. The tilted head, raised arm, and sweeping hat create intersecting diagonals, giving this concentrated moment a sense of movement. A fine drawn border holds the composition together without diminishing its immediacy.
