ABOUT THE WORK Edgar Degas' In Front of the Mirror was created in 1889 and the painting is in Hamburger Kunsthalle. The original size of the work is 49 x 64 cm and is made of pastel on paper. From around 1870, Degas preferred pastels to other painting media because of the sensuality of their surface and the luminosity of their colors. Viewed from close up and obliquely above, he painted the back view of a woman tying her hair at a dressing table. In front of the mirror are a hairbrush, a comb, two bottles, and a hairpiece. The brim of the decorated hat obscures the eyes of the subject, who is not looking at herself in the mirror. Only a blurred reflection of her upper body can be seen there. Degas brings the viewer close to the woman at her toilette while simultaneously withdrawing her from their view. He harmonizes his motif with the painting's depiction by treating the surface of the paper with the pastels in the same way the woman cares for her hair: the skin on her back is treated as if with a comb, the blue wall on the left as if with a brush. The pastel is an example of the experimental use of diverse painting techniques that is characteristic of the artist's late work. The Artist: Edgar Degas (1834 - 1917) was a French artist famous for his pastel drawings and oil paintings of ballerinas. Degas also produced bronze sculptures, prints, and drawings. Degas is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. Although Degas is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism.
