Double Portrait
by DEGAS, Edgar, Oil on canvas, 57 x 70 cm
Degas produced many portraits between 1865 and 1870, too, the major ones of which were Th�r�se de Gas, Double Portrait, The Collector, Madame Hertel, Duke and Duchess of Morbilli, Jacques Joseph (James) Tissot, Mademoiselle Dihau at the Piano, Madame Camus at the Piano, Portrait of Hortense Valpin�on as a Child.
Conventional as they may be, these portraits highlight both what is characteristic and what is casual in the personality and deportment of the sitter.
The painting represents the cousins of the painter.
