About the piece
Painted around 1875, this work by Edgar Degas showcases his fascination with unconventional perspectives and interior spaces. The portrait of Mrs. Jeantaud is rendered in a sophisticated, muted palette, using the mirror to create a double image that adds psychological depth and visual intrigue to the composition.
