Singer with a Glove

Degas was a French artist known for his pastels, paintings, sculptures, prints, and charcoal drawings.

Degas was a habitué of those places, especially the Café des Ambassadeurs, and he uses them as the settings for many of his works.

Degas is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers alone.

The Fogg was the first museum to mount an exhibition of works by Degas, which became a pivotal moment in his lifetime.
