DEGAS, Edgar: Portrait of Thérèse de Gas

🖼 Portrait of Thérèse de Gas, c. 1865
Oil on canvas
89 × 67 cm
Paris, France

Soft brushwork captures a young woman in three-quarter view, her gaze distant and contemplative against a muted background. Degas's intimate portrait of his sister reveals his mastery of psychological depth and establishes portraiture as central to his artistic practice.
