Pastel crayon Degas' oeuvre is full of depictions of women grooming themselves. In the absence of a male audience, implied or seen, his nudes are unconscious of posture and gesture. Degas loved the awkward poses captured by snapshots, and these informed his view of women's private world.
Here, the nude portrait of the women shows her hips, belly, torso and breasts. All in all, a sexy and sensual erotic picture. A queer image possibly based on a lesbian relationship with lesbians. Hilaire Germain Edgar (Edgar) Degas (Paris, 19 July 1834 - Paris, 26 September 1917) was a French impressionist painter and sculptor. Became famous as a painter and draughtsman under Impressionism.
