Original Description
Edgar Degas’ L’infante Margarita, D’après Velázquez (Delteil 12; Reed & Shapiro 16) is a striking reinterpretation of Diego Velázquez’s iconic Baroque portrait Las Meninas. Degas, known for his fascination with movement and modern life, here turns his attention to Old Master studies, capturing Infanta Margarita Teresa’s poised yet delicate presence in soft, expressive lines. The print radiates an air of quiet nobility, blending Degas’ signature impressionistic sensitivity with Velázquez’s formal grandeur. Created during Degas’ exploration of printmaking in the 1860s, this piece reflects his deep engagement with art historical traditions while showcasing his experimental approach to technique—etching and drypoint—that lends the work a textured, almost tactile quality. Though less celebrated than his ballet scenes or bathers, this study occupies a unique place in Degas’ oeuvre, illustrating his reverence for classical artistry alongside modernist innovation. Art historians value it as a bridge between 17th-century mastery and 19th-century avant-garde reimagination.
For interior spaces, this artwork’s refined elegance demands thoughtful placement. A gilded or dark walnut frame would honor its Baroque roots while maintaining sophistication—ideal for a study, formal living room, or executive office. Hang it at eye level (center around 57–60 inches from the floor) in a well-lit area with warm, directional lighting to accentuate its intricate lines. Pair it with rich jewel tones (deep emerald, muted ruby) or terracotta walls to harmonize with its warm monochrome tones. Given its intimate scale (approximately 8 x 6 inches for the plate), it thrives grouped with other small-format master studies or placed atop a console table with sculptural objects, creating a curated vignette. Avoid overcrowding; let it anchor a minimalist space where its historical gravitas can breathe, balancing modern furnishings with its timeless grace.
