Woman Seated in an Armchair, Wiping Her Neck c. 1890 - 1905

"Woman Seated in an Armchair, Wiping Her Neck" is a bronze sculpture by Edgar Degas, created between 1890 and 1905. Degas, known for his depictions of dancers, captured a solitary figure in a pensive pose. The woman sits in an armchair, her head resting on her hand, creating a sense of introspection and isolation. The rough, textured surface of the sculpture, characteristic of Degas's later works, further enhances the sense of realism and immediacy. This piece exemplifies Degas's exploration of human form and his unique artistic vision.
