"Portrait of Ludovic Halévy (1834-1908), from 'La Famille Cardinal' by Ludovic Halévy, c.1880s, published 1938" is a notable artwork by the French artist Edgar Degas. The portrait is part of a series of illustrations created by Degas for the book "La Famille Cardinal," written by Ludovic Halévy. The book, a satirical account of Parisian life, was first published in the 1880s, and Degas's illustrations were integrated into a later edition published in 1938, well after the artist's death.

The portrait captures Ludovic Halévy, a French author, playwright, and librettist, who was a friend and frequent collaborator of Degas. Halévy's works often provided a critical yet humorous look at society, and his connection with Degas extended into the realm of art, with Halévy being a subject in Degas's oeuvre. The illustration is executed in Degas's characteristic style, which often included a focus on the psychological aspects of his subjects, as well as a keen attention to detail and composition.

Degas, primarily known for his paintings and sculptures, also explored printmaking and illustration. His work on "La Famille Cardinal" is particularly significant as it showcases his skill in the graphic arts and his ability to capture the essence of literary characters and their creators through visual means. The portrait of Ludovic Halévy stands as a testament to the multifaceted talents of Degas and his contributions to both the visual and literary arts of the late 19th century.

The artwork remains an important piece within the context of Degas's body of work, as it exemplifies the intersection of literature and visual art during the period, and highlights the collaborative spirit between artists and writers of the time. It also offers insight into the social circles and intellectual exchanges that were prevalent in the Parisian art scene, further cementing Edgar Degas's reputation as a central figure in the Impressionist movement and beyond.
