Painting Description
"Bust of a Woman 2" is a sculptural work by the French artist Edgar Degas, known for his contributions to Impressionism and his masterful depictions of movement, particularly in his studies of dancers. While Degas is best known for his paintings and pastels, he also engaged in sculpture, which has received increasing attention over time. "Bust of a Woman 2" is one of the relatively few three-dimensional works attributed to Degas, as the artist was highly secretive about his sculptural practice and did not display these works publicly during his lifetime.
The bust represents a departure from Degas's more familiar subjects, focusing instead on a detailed study of a female figure's head and shoulders. The work is characterized by its expressive features and the artist's attention to textural detail, which suggests a sense of individuality and psychological depth in the subject. The medium used for the bust, typically either bronze or a form of wax modeling, reflects Degas's experimental approach to materials and his interest in the play of light and shadow on surfaces.
The exact date of creation for "Bust of a Woman 2" is uncertain, as Degas's sculptures were largely undocumented and often remained in his studio until his death in 1917. It was only after his death that the majority of his sculptural works were cast in bronze, a process overseen by his heirs and the founders Hébrard. These posthumous casts have been the subject of both admiration for their artistic merit and scrutiny regarding their authenticity and fidelity to Degas's original intentions.
"Bust of a Woman 2" is part of a broader context of Degas's exploration of the human form, which he pursued alongside his better-known depictions of ballet dancers, horse races, and scenes of Parisian life. The bust contributes to the understanding of Degas's oeuvre as one that encompasses a range of artistic practices and a deep interest in the subtleties of human expression and form. As with many of Degas's sculptures, the exact number of casts, their locations, and provenance can vary, and they are sought after by museums and collectors for their connection to one of the leading figures of Impressionism.
