The Breakfast
Edgar Degas (French, 1834 - 1917)
circa 1885. Oil on canvas, 15 5/16 x 11 7/16". 1991.001.008
Among Edgar Degas’s most memorable pictures are
intimate scenes of women bathing or performing other personal rituals. A
master draftsman, Degas explored with intensity and pleasure the
potential of pastel for spontaneous, sensuous expression. In this work,
Degas captured the model in the act of sipping from a cup, with her face
turned away and her body relaxed. He has achieved a mood of quiet
reverie, placing the viewer discreetly behind the model, looking down at
her.
