Singer at a Café-Concert 1876 - 1877

Edgar Degas's *Singer at a Café-Concert* (1876-77) is an evocative monotype that captures the ephemeral nature of performance. The blurred lines and fragmented composition reflect the Impressionist style, emphasizing the movement and fleeting nature of the singer. The artist's signature "Degas" appears at the bottom right corner of the work, located in The Art Institute of Chicago. Degas, known for his depictions of dancers and Parisian life, uses this monotype to showcase the energy and dynamism of a live performance.
