The Story in the Margin
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 with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

The detail is unbelievable for the price. The scale works perfectly for Henri and nothing feels cramped.
The shop answered my question about sizing within a few hours. The detail in Henri holds up from a couple of feet away. It gave the reading nook the anchor it was missing. There is a small imperfection near one edge that I have decided to like.
My husband spotted this months ago and I finally gave in. The colors in Henri are richer than any version I found online.
It fills the space in the stairwell the way I hoped it would. I have bought two more since this one arrived. Really no complaints worth writing down.
Thank you. We spend a long time on the scans, so hearing that the detail came through means a lot.
It came packed so well that opening it took ten minutes. The clarity of Henri makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday. It has made the nursery feel finished.
