The Pedicure 1873

"The Pedicure" (1873) by Edgar Degas is a painting depicting a woman reclining on a couch as a man attends to her feet. This intimate scene, captured in a seemingly casual moment, exemplifies Degas's fascination with the everyday lives of ordinary people. The painting is characterized by a loose brushstroke and a focus on capturing fleeting moments of movement, typical of Degas's style. It currently resides in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.
