Bidspirit auction | EDGAR DEGAS FRENCH IMPRESSIONIST ETCHING

EDGAR DEGAS FRENCH IMPRESSIONIST ETCHING MARY CASSATT - Edgar Degas, French, 1834 to 1917, etching on paper. Titled La Peinture, Mary Cassatt. Ca. 1880. This print signals the close friendship between Edgar Degas and fellow Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt. The two artists experimented with print­making techniques, which Degas used to create this image of Cassatt as a confident modern woman enjoying the painting galleries of the Musee du Louvre, Paris. She is accompanied by a figure who is probably her sister Lydia. Degas, like Cassatt, collected Japanese prints, and the vertical format, pillared framing device, rear silhouettes, and fanning skirt in this print are strikingly japoniste features. Unsigned.
