About the piece
Painted around 1879, Edgar Degas's 'The Millinery Shop' is one of his most ambitious treatments of the subject of labor and fashion. The painting features an unconventional Impressionist composition, where the vibrant textures and colors of the hats dominate the foreground, while the artisan herself is shown in a moment of quiet, professional concentration.
