About the piece

Created in 1882, this pastel work by Edgar Degas captures a moment of quiet concentration at a milliner's shop. The composition features the artist's signature use of cropped perspectives and a warm, atmospheric palette, highlighting the tactile textures of 19th-century fashion and the interior space.
