About the piece
In this 1869 portrait, Edgar Degas captures Madame Camus in a moment of elegant repose. The work is defined by its striking monochromatic palette and dramatic lighting, which casts the subject's profile in soft silhouette against a glowing red interior. The inclusion of a Japanese-style fan and the atmospheric shadows exemplify the sophisticated, modern aesthetic of the era.
