Painting Description
''At the Milliner's'' (French: ''Chez la modiste'') is an 1882 pastel-on-paper artwork by the French artist Edgar Degas, who is widely regarded as one of the leading figures of the Impressionist movement, although he preferred to be called a realist. This work is part of a series of millinery shop interiors that Degas explored in the 1870s and 1880s, which reflect his interest in modern Parisian life and the roles of women within it.
The painting depicts a scene inside a hat shop, a common setting for Parisian women of the time, both as consumers and as workers. It features at least one customer and a milliner, engaged in the intimate act of trying on and admiring fashionable hats—a subject that allowed Degas to explore contemporary fashion, social interaction, and the psychology of the buyer-seller relationship. The composition is notable for its use of perspective and the interplay of light and color, which emphasizes the textures and forms of the hats and the figures within the shop.
Degas' millinery series, including ''At the Milliner's'', is recognized for its innovative approach to capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life, as well as its subtle commentary on the changing roles of women in the late 19th-century urban environment. These works are also significant for their contribution to the development of pastel as a serious medium, which Degas used to great effect to convey the nuances of light and material.
''At the Milliner's'' is held in a private collection, and like many of Degas' works, it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world. The piece continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of Degas' oeuvre and the Impressionist movement.
