"Portrait of Édouard Manet" by Edgar Degas is a notable work of art that captures the likeness of the influential French painter Édouard Manet, a key figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. Created circa 1864-1865, this portrait is an oil on canvas and stands as a testament to the relationship and mutual respect between two of the most prominent artists of the 19th century. Degas, known for his contributions to Impressionism and for his depictions of modern life, often interacted with Manet, and their artistic dialogue is encapsulated in this work.

The painting measures 27 x 36 cm and is part of the collection at the Kitakyushu Municipal Museum of Art in Japan. It showcases Degas's skill in portraiture and his unique approach to composition and color. Unlike the traditional grand portraits of the time, Degas's portrayal of Manet is intimate and informal, featuring Manet resting his arm on a table, suggesting a casual encounter rather than a formal sitting.

This portrait is particularly significant because it reflects the complexities of the relationship between Degas and Manet. It is said that Manet, upon seeing the painting, was displeased with how his face was rendered and cut out the canvas's depicted face. Degas later repaired the painting by adding a new piece of canvas, which contributes to the artwork's history and the storied interactions between the two artists.

"Portrait of Édouard Manet" by Edgar Degas is not only a representation of Manet himself but also an embodiment of the artistic environment of Paris in the late 19th century, where avant-garde artists were redefining the boundaries of art. The work remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Degas and serves as a historical document of the Impressionist movement and the enduring friendship and rivalry between Degas and Manet.
