Marcellin Desboutin's 1876 etching, "Portrait of Edgar Degas, wearing a hat," depicts the famous Impressionist painter in a casual pose. Degas stands in profile, his hand resting on his hip, his gaze directed slightly away from the viewer. The artist uses loose, expressive lines to capture Degas's likeness and the relaxed yet dignified atmosphere of the portrait. This etching is an excellent example of the artistic relationship between two prominent figures of the Impressionist period.
