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

I have already recommended this shop to three people. The color in Retiring is what people mean when they talk about Degas. It has made every other thing in that room look better by association. It came through a summer of wildfire smoke and open windows with no smell at all. Five stars without hesitation.
It has completely changed how the entryway feels. It cost less than dinner out and has given us far more. It works well in a split-level that has been hard to decorate. Don't think twice, just order it.
My husband spotted this months ago and I finally gave in. It brings out parts of Retiring I have never seen reproduced this well.
