Description:
- Colour print of the painting ‘At the Dressmaker’ by Edgar Degas.
- Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was a French painter, sculptor and engraver. He is considered one of the founders of Impressionism, although he himself called it realism. He was one of the greatest draughtsmen in history for his masterful capture of the sensations of life and movement, especially in his works of dancers, horse races and nudes.
- Degas's most popular subjects are often of an intimate nature: bathing scenes, ironers at work or hatters resting. As in the present scene, which shows a young woman contemplating a hat that she is holding with both hands.
