"Portrait after a Costume Ball (Portrait of Madame Dietz-Monnin)" is an oil painting created by the French artist Edgar Degas between 1877 and 1879. This artwork is a striking example of Degas's portraiture, which often diverged from the traditional approach of the time, capturing his subjects with a sense of immediacy and psychological complexity. The painting depicts Madame Dietz-Monnin, a member of the Parisian bourgeoisie, in a moment of repose following a costume ball, a social event that was a popular subject among Impressionist painters.

The portrait is notable for its candid and somewhat unconventional representation of the sitter. Degas, who is more famously known for his depictions of ballet dancers and scenes of Parisian life, applies his keen observational skills to capture the essence of Madame Dietz-Monnin's personality and social standing. The painting's composition, with its unusual cropping and close-up view, reflects Degas's interest in photography and his innovative approach to framing his subjects.

In "Portrait after a Costume Ball (Portrait of Madame Dietz-Monnin)," Degas employs a muted color palette, with subtle variations in tone and texture to render the fabrics and the atmosphere of the post-ball setting. The brushwork is loose and expressive, characteristic of the Impressionist movement's style, yet it retains a certain precision in the depiction of Madame Dietz-Monnin's features and attire.

This work is part of a series of portraits that Degas painted of Parisian society figures, which together provide insight into the cultural milieu of late 19th-century France. The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Degas's oeuvre and the broader context of Impressionist portraiture.
