"Madame René de Gas" is an 1872-1873 portrait painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, depicting his sister-in-law Estelle Musson Balfour, who was married to his brother René de Gas. This artwork is an example of Degas's early forays into portrait painting, a genre he would revisit throughout his career, although he is more famously known for his depictions of dancers and scenes of Parisian life.

The painting is rendered in oil on canvas and measures approximately 92.1 cm × 73.3 cm (36 1/4 in × 28 7/8 in). It is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In this portrait, Estelle is shown seated, wearing a black dress with white lace trim and a matching bonnet, embodying the elegance and reserved demeanor characteristic of the period's Parisian bourgeoisie. The composition's intimate and reflective quality suggests a moment of private contemplation, a theme that resonates with Degas's broader interest in the psychological aspects of his subjects.

"Madame René de Gas" is notable for its demonstration of Degas's skill in capturing the subtleties of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to the details of fabric and texture, which would become hallmarks of his later work. The painting also offers insight into the artist's personal life and family connections, as Estelle, who was partially blind, was a recurring subject in Degas's oeuvre. The portrait is a testament to the complex interplay between the artist's personal and professional spheres, and it stands as a poignant example of his portraiture work during the early 1870s.

The painting has been analyzed for its composition and technique, as well as for the insight it provides into the social and familial context of Degas's life. It is often discussed in the broader framework of Degas's artistic development and his exploration of the human figure, particularly in the context of his relationship with the Impressionist movement, of which he was a prominent, albeit idiosyncratic, member.
