德加版画头像《戴褶边帽的女人》高清图片

作品简介

早期学者认为这幅版画可能是埃德加·德加的母亲的肖像。然而，如今人们却将其与同年创作的一幅描绘相似但身份不明的女性正在缝纫的素描联系起来。

尽管埃德加·德加以描绘现代巴黎生活而闻名，但在他职业生涯的早期，这位艺术家专注于肖像画创作。这幅蚀刻版画是在他于法国国家图书馆深入研习北方大师伦勃朗·凡·莱茵的版画之后创作的。德加模仿了这位年长艺术家的独特笔触，记录下了这位身份至今不明的女性的肖像。与德加的许多版画作品一样，这幅作品从未正式出版发行，目前仅存有四幅印样。

Early scholars believed that this print might be a portrait of Edgar Degas’s mother. Today, instead, it has been tied to a drawing of the same year that depicts a similar but unidentified woman sewing.

Although Edgar Degas is known for his depictions of modern Parisian life, early in his career the artist focused on portraiture. This etching was created after time spent closely studying the prints of Northern master Rembrandt van Rijn at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Degas emulated the elder artist’s distinctive mark making to record the likeness of this woman, whose identity is unknown today. Like many of Degas’s prints, this work was never editioned and exists in only four impressions.
