"Portraits in an Office (New Orleans)" is a notable painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created during his visit to New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1872-1873. This work is significant as it represents a departure from Degas's typical Parisian subjects and reflects his exposure to the American business environment, specifically the cotton exchange market where his maternal relatives worked.

The painting, also known as "The Cotton Office, New Orleans," depicts a scene inside the offices of his uncle's business, Musson & Degas, capturing the dynamics of the cotton merchants and brokers at work. It is one of the few compositions by Degas that addresses the theme of industry and commerce, showcasing his interest in modern life and the changing economic landscapes of the 19th century.

Measuring 73 cm × 92 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on canvas and showcases Degas's early mastery of composition and his evolving impressionistic style. The painting is characterized by its attention to detail, the use of natural light filtering through the office windows, and the candid portrayal of the figures, some of whom are identified as Degas's relatives.

"Portraits in an Office (New Orleans)" holds the distinction of being the first painting by Degas to be purchased by a museum, and it is currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Pau, France. The work is often cited as a pivotal piece in Degas's oeuvre, bridging his academic training and his later impressionist innovations, and it provides valuable insight into the artist's familial connections and his brief but impactful encounter with American culture.
