About the piece
Painted around 1865, this striking portrait by Edgar Degas depicts his sister Thérèse and her husband, Edmondo Morbilli. The composition is notable for its unconventional balance and the vibrant red shawl that draws the eye, contrasting beautifully with the muted, atmospheric tones of the interior.
