About the piece

Painted by Edgar Degas in 1877, this intimate portrait captures Mademoiselle Malo in a moment of quiet reflection. The dark, rich tones of her attire contrast beautifully with the bright, loosely painted yellow and white chrysanthemums that bloom behind her, showcasing Degas' mastery of both form and atmospheric light.
