About the piece
Created around 1875, this oil on canvas by Edgar Degas captures Madame de Rutté in a moment of quiet repose. The composition is masterfully balanced by a deep blue vase in the foreground, demonstrating Degas's characteristic interest in unconventional perspectives and the textures of everyday Parisian life.
