Original Description
Edgar Degas' portrait Madame Théodore Gobillard (née Yves Morisot) captures an intimate moment of bourgeois elegance characteristic of Impressionist portraiture. Painted ca. 1869, it depicts Berthe Morisot's sister-in-law seated gracefully, her gaze contemplative yet engaging. Degas employs loose brushstrokes to render the lace collar and shawl with tactile delicacy, while the muted palette of soft grays and creams accentuates Yves' porcelain complexion—a hallmark of his nuanced approach to female sitters. The composition balances spontaneity with structure, reflecting Degas' academic training and experimental edge. Historically significant, this work bridges his early Salon-style portraits and later radical depictions of modern life, offering insight into the Impressionist circle's personal dynamics (Morisot herself was a central figure). Now housed in museums like the Norton Simon, it exemplifies Degas' ability to infuse formal portraiture with psychological depth and atmospheric immediacy.
For interior styling, this artwork thrives in spaces blending classic and contemporary aesthetics. A gilded Orsay-style frame would honor its 19th-century origins, while displayed against warm neutral walls (think Farrow & Ball's "Off-White No. 3") to harmonize with its subtle tones. Ideal above a velvet-upholstered console in a study or lounge, its intimate 16 x 21-inch scale invites close viewing—pair with brass task lighting for evening ambiance. In offices, juxtapose it with clean-lined furniture to create visual tension between eras. Echo the painting’s pearl-gray accents through textiles like shearling throws or silk pillows, ensuring the artwork remains the focal point. For maximal impact, hang at eye level (57-60 inches from floor) in low-traffic areas where its quiet magnetism can be appreciated undisturbed.
