About the piece

Painted in 1866, this evocative portrait by Edgar Degas captures a young girl in a vibrant red gown detailed with dark ruffles. The work showcases the artist's early mastery of color and character, balancing the intensity of the garment with a soft, contemplative facial expression and a neutral, textured backdrop that enhances the figure's presence.
