Original Description
The tender pastel Tête d'enfant, d'après un maître italien du XVème siècle (Child's Head, After an Italian Master of the XVth Century) reveals Degas' profound respect for Renaissance art while showcasing his mastery of modern softness. Created during his early career when he obsessively copied old masters in Italian museums, this 1856 work delicately reconstructs a quattrocento child's portrait with powdery blues and peaches, the chalky medium melting the Renaissance rigidity into impressionistic warmth. The downward gaze and rounded cheeks echo Filippo Lippi or Ghirlandaio's cherubic figures, yet Degas' hazy strokes dissolve contours into atmospheric emotion - a transitional piece foreshadowing his later radical experiments with form. This rare homage bridges 15th-century Florentine precision and 19th-century avant-garde rebellion, making it a seminal document in understanding Degas' artistic lineage beyond ballet dancers.
For contemporary spaces, this artwork's muted Renaissance palette harmonizes wonderfully with warm neutrals - hang it against olive green walls or cream-toned wainscoting to amplify its antique charm. An ornate Baroque frame (22 x 18 inches suggested) would honor its historical roots while creating striking contrast in minimalist offices. Position it horizontally at eye level in a reading nook alongside terracotta ceramics and linen textiles for Mediterranean cohesion, or use it as a sophisticated accent above a walnut writing desk paired with brass desk accessories. The soft blues in the child's headdress subtly echo slate blue upholstery or Murano glass decor, making it ideal for bridging traditional and transitional interiors. In daylight, its chalky texture responds beautifully to north-facing windows, preventing cold tones from feeling sterile.
