Degas' oeuvre is full of images of women taking care of themselves. In the absence of a male audience, implied or seen, his nudes are unconscious of posture and gesture. Degas loved the uncomfortable poses captured by snapshots, and these informed his vision of women's private world.

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.
