Retiring — Degas Area Rug

Edgar Degas frequently depicted women in private, unguarded domestic moments — dressing, undressing, or, as here, retiring for the night — subjects he approached with clinical, unsentimental observation rather than idealization. "Retiring" belongs to this strand of his work, exploring intimate gesture and the play of artificial light on the body in interior settings. Degas's interest in candid, seemingly unposed moments was influenced by his enthusiasm for photography and Japanese woodblock prints, both of which shaped his unconventional compositions.

My mother liked hers so much that I ordered one too. The brushwork in Retiring shows exactly why Degas has the reputation. It has held up through a winter of dry radiator heat with no curling at all. Five stars without hesitation.
This is a decent rug at a slightly optimistic price. Half my reason for ordering was Retiring, and that half worked out.
The colors are richer in person than they look on a screen. Every line in Retiring is crisp, even in the busiest areas. It arrived a full day ahead of the estimate. It has made the guest room feel finished.
I have bought three of these now for different rooms. The detail in Retiring holds up with my face inches away. I would order this again tomorrow.
I kept checking the tracking because I could not wait for it to get here. The colors in Retiring are richer than any version I found online.
