EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edgar Degas' masterpiece, "The Schoolgirl (Woman Walking in the Street), c. 1880/1881". Created during the late 19th century, this artwork beautifully captures a moment frozen in time. Degas, known for his exceptional talent and unique perspective on everyday life, presents us with a glimpse into the streets of France. The woman depicted exudes an air of elegance as she confidently walks through the bustling cityscape. Her stylish clothing, including a coat and hat adorned with intricate details, reflects the fashion trends of that era. What sets this piece apart is Degas' innovative use of materials. Employing pigmented beeswax and plastiline on a plaster base supported by metal armature, he skillfully sculpts this three-dimensional representation of his subject. This technique adds depth and texture to the sculpture while capturing subtle nuances like folds in her skirt or creases in her handbag. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, this artwork stands as a testament to Degas' mastery and enduring legacy within art history. It invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also provides insight into French culture during that period. "The Schoolgirl (Woman Walking in the Street)" serves as an exquisite example of how art can transcend time and transport us back to another era – allowing us to connect with our shared human experiences across centuries.
