Original Description
Edgar Degas' intimate pastel drawing Degas de profil, assis dans un fauteuil (Degas in Profile, Seated in an Armchair) offers a rare glimpse into the artist's self-reflection. Created circa 1880–85 during Degas' mature period, this introspective work showcases his masterful handling of soft pastels—a medium he revolutionized with layered, textured strokes that blur realism and impressionism. The composition captures Degas seated sideways in an armchair, his bearded profile illuminated against muted earth tones, exuding quiet exhaustion. Unlike his vibrant ballet scenes, this piece reveals the artist's psychological depth through its muted palette and asymmetrical cropping—a signature Degas technique inspired by Japanese prints. As one of few surviving self-portraits from his later years, it holds immense significance in understanding Degas' artistic evolution from precise draughtsmanship to expressive abstraction.
For interior styling, this artwork's restrained elegance makes it ideal for contemplative spaces like home studies or executive offices. Frame it in a slender walnut floater frame to complement the warm umbers and ochres in the piece, opting for museum glass to enhance the pastel’s delicate luminosity. Hang it at eye level (approximately 57–60 inches from the floor) above a Chesterfield sofa or mid-century writing desk, allowing its intimate scale (typically under 20 inches) to command attention without overwhelming. Pair with textured neutrals—think linen upholstery or sisal rugs—to echo Degas’ tactile strokes, while brass desk accessories can subtly pick up the drawing’s golden undertones. In modern spaces, contrast its organic softness with clean-lined furniture for balanced sophistication. Avoid bright lighting; indirect illumination will preserve the work’s subdued drama while creating a refined atmosphere.
