Original Description
Edgar Degas’ Mary Cassatt at the Louvre: The Etruscan Gallery (Reed/Shapiro 51; Delteil 30; Adhémar 53) is a striking pastel and etching that captures an intimate moment of artistic contemplation. The work depicts fellow Impressionist Mary Cassatt, dressed in a refined black gown, leaning forward to examine Etruscan artifacts in the Louvre—a quiet yet dynamic scene that reflects Degas’ fascination with modern life and interior spaces. Created in 1879–80, this piece exemplifies Degas’ mastery of composition and his ability to blend realism with subtle Impressionist touches, particularly in the play of light and shadow. Historically significant, the work not only documents Cassatt’s intellectual curiosity but also highlights the camaraderie between two pivotal figures in 19th-century art. As one of Degas’ rare portraits of a peer, it underscores his respect for Cassatt and their shared interest in Japanese prints, visible in the flattened perspective and careful framing.
For a sophisticated yet understated decor, this artwork would elevate a study, library, or office space. Its muted palette—dominant blacks, warm browns, and soft whites—pairs well with neutral-toned furniture and textured fabrics like linen or wool. Choose a wall with indirect natural light to mimic the Louvre’s gallery ambiance, and opt for a medium-sized frame (around 16" x 20") in a minimalist gold or walnut finish to complement the work’s elegance. Hang it at eye level beside a leather armchair or a vintage wooden desk to create a cohesive intellectual aesthetic. Alternatively, in a modern setting, contrast the piece with clean-lined furniture and a single bold accent color (e.g., deep emerald or burgundy) to balance its restraint. The intimate scale invites closer viewing, making it ideal for spaces meant for reflection or conversation.
