Mary Cassatt at the Louvre (study) 

This pastel drawing, "Mary Cassatt at the Louvre (study)", is a work by Edgar Degas, a prominent figure of the Impressionist movement. The artwork portrays Mary Cassatt, another prominent Impressionist painter, from behind, her figure nearly blending with the background. Degas, known for his depictions of dancers and everyday life, captures a moment of quiet contemplation, highlighting Cassatt's grace and elegance through the simplicity of her pose. The use of pastel creates a soft, atmospheric effect, emphasizing the subtle details of the figure and the light in the scene. The study is an interesting insight into the creative process of Degas and his interactions with fellow artists.
