More about this artwork

"Two Seated Women" is an intriguing sketch by the renowned French artist Edgar Degas, created between 1856 and 1860. This pencil drawing showcases Degas' early talent for capturing human figures in relaxed, natural forms. In this composition, two women are seated next to each other, portrayed in a gentle, unassuming manner that hints at a quiet moment of companionship or perhaps introspection.The light, almost ethereal strokes, typical of Degas' preliminary sketches, lend a sense of impermanence and delicacy to the scene. On the left, one woman is depicted in a slightly turned pose, facing towards her companion, suggesting an interaction or conversation. The woman on the right, with her profile more visible, appears to be listening intently, her posture relaxed yet attentive.This sketch not only illustrates Degas’ mastery in portraying the subtleties of human gestures but also serves as a window into the everyday life of women during the 19th century. It captures the essence of quiet moments spent in each other's company, a theme that resonates throughout Degas's more finalized works.
