Ballet Corps Member Fixing Her Hair (c.1900-1902). Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917). Pastel on paper, laid down on paper.
The audacity of Degas’s art during this period was often at odds with the narrowness of his life. In 1890 he took over a large studio on the rue Victor Massé, later moving into an adjoining apartment that was to remain his home until 1912. He never married but was a fiercely loyal friend, counting among his intimates a number of women, including Mary Cassatt.
