About the piece
Painted in 1868, this portrait by Edgar Degas depicts Victoria Dubourg, a fellow artist and the future wife of Henri Fantin-Latour. The work captures a quiet moment of stillness, using a masterful composition of interlocking shapes and a restrained, elegant color palette. Degas's early interest in realism and psychological depth is evident in the sitter's direct gaze and the meticulously rendered interior surroundings.
