埃德加·德加版画《玛丽·卡萨特在卢浮宫》高清图片

作品简介

大约在同一时期，埃德加·德加制作了第二幅蚀刻版画，画中展现了玛丽·卡萨特在卢浮宫博物馆的情景，不过这次是在伊特鲁里亚长廊。

卡萨特曾说，她“只有在德加觉得动作难以表现，而模特又似乎无法理解他的意图时，才会偶尔为他摆姿势”。事实上，从1879年开始，她就多次为这位朋友充当模特，创作了一幅名为《在卢浮宫》的粉彩画，德加正是根据这幅画创作了这幅蚀刻版画。在这幅版画中，德加展现了卡萨特和她的妹妹莉迪亚在巴黎卢浮宫博物馆的情景，两人都在专心欣赏展出的画作。这幅画创作于女性较少单独出现在公共场所的时代，画面暗示了这两位年轻女性的独立与自信。

Around the same time, Edgar Degas made a second etching showing Mary Cassatt in the Musée du Louvre, this time in the Etruscan Gallery.

Cassatt said that she posed for Degas "only once in a while when he finds the movement difficult and the model cannot seem to get his idea." In fact, she modeled for her friend on numerous occasions beginning in 1879 for a pastel titled At the Louvre, upon which Degas based this etching. Here, Degas showed Cassatt and her sister Lydia in Paris's Musée du Louvre, both involved in studying the paintings on view. Created at a time when women were less frequently seen alone in pub spaces, the image suggests the young women's independence and confidence.
