EDGAR DEGAS

WOMAN WITH A BANDAGE, BETWEEN 1872 AND 1873

About the Artwork

The tenderness of the portrait with its soft colors and the emphasis on the thick bandage seem to betray a certain sympathy that Degas felt for the sitter. Although the woman's identity is unknown, she may be Degas's sister-in-law Estelle Mousson, who began losing her vision in 1866. Degas visited his brother's family in New Orleans in 1872–73, which suggests a date for the work.
