Edgar Degas came from a prosperous banking family with branches in Naples, and he painted numerous portraits of his relatives during visits to Italy in the 1850s and 1860s, developing his skill as a portraitist before turning primarily to ballet and modern Parisian life. This double portrait of his uncle Henri and young cousin Lucie reflects that early, more traditional phase of his career, showing the careful attention to psychology and family relationship that Degas carried into his later, more experimental work. Degas's family portraits are valued for revealing the formal training that underpinned his later innovations.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

This has been the easiest online order I have placed in years. Everything that makes Henri special survived the reproduction. It transformed a reading nook that had felt unfinished for years. The high desert dries everything out and this has not cracked or curled. It has made the reading nook feel finished.
This is a solid buy at a slightly high price. The detail in Henri holds up from a couple of feet away…
I kept checking the tracking because I could not wait for it to get here. It brings out parts of Henri I have never seen reproduced this well. The fringe on this rug is neat and has stayed that way through two washes. It has come through a summer of open windows and humidity without a problem. 👌
It looks great in the guest room and my wife noticed it before I said anything. ⭐
This shop does everything right, from checkout to delivery. There is a life to Henri here that flat reproductions usually kill. Our stucco house is hard to decorate and this fit right in. Buy it, you will not regret it.
