About the piece
Created around 1898, 'The Milliners' is a masterful example of Edgar Degas's late style, characterized by a looser, more expressive approach to paint. The composition focuses on two women engaged in the tactile work of fashion, using a sophisticated harmony of earth tones, creams, and vivid floral accents. This work exemplifies the artist's lifelong fascination with the modern working life of Paris, rendered here with a sense of quiet dignity and atmospheric warmth.
