"Interior (or The Rape)" is a seminal artwork by the acclaimed French artist, Edgar Degas, circa 1868-1869. Venturing from his usual subjects of ballet dancers and horse racing, Degas delves into the genre of the psychological interior, departing from his contemporaries focusing on photographic realism.

The painting, oil on canvas, depicts intense and unsettling interaction between a man and a woman within a dimly lit furnished room. The woman is pictured in a state of distress while the man appears to maintain dominance, leading to the alternate title, "The Rape". The use of a rather restricted palette of mainly grays, black and muted brown tones further sets a somber emotional tone.

The painting is lauded for its innovative composition, delineation of domestic space, and exploration of complex human emotions. The narrative remains ambiguous, open to various readings by the viewer which adds to its haunting appeal. The painting is considered a departure from the normative, and heralds Degas' evolution toward the unconventional in terms of both, subject matter and technique.

As of writing, this masterwork remains in the private collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Its powerful portrayal of an intimate scene in a domestic setting continues to be an exemplar of Degas’s extraordinary ability to capture psychological complexity in his compositions.
