About the piece
Painted in 1877, this intimate oil study by Edgar Degas captures a pensive sitter in profile. The work showcases Degas's characteristic mastery of form and texture, with the soft, atmospheric background contrasting beautifully against the detailed rendering of the man's beard and dark formal attire.
