Degas, known for his masterful use of pastels, employs a rich palette and delicate strokes to bring out the textures and subtleties of Duranty's features. The portrait is characterized by its realistic depiction, with particular attention given to the nuances of light and shadow, which add depth and dimension to the subject's face. Duranty is depicted with a thoughtful expression, his eyes conveying a sense of introspection and intensity, which reflects his critical and literary acumen.

The background of the portrait is relatively simple, ensuring that the focus remains on Duranty. This simplicity is a hallmark of Degas's portraiture, where the emphasis is placed on the sitter rather than the surroundings. The use of pastels allows for a softness and fluidity in the rendering of Duranty's features, creating a lifelike and engaging image.

"Edmond Duranty I" is not only a testament to Degas's skill as a portraitist but also a reflection of the close relationship between the artist and his subject.

This portrait, therefore, holds significant historical and emotional value, capturing a moment in the lives of two important figures in the 19th-century French art scene.
