EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Actresses in Their Dressing Rooms, 1879-1880" by Edgar Degas offers a glimpse into the intimate world of female performers during the late 19th century. The etching and aquatint technique used on wove paper adds a touch of delicacy to this masterpiece, which is now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. In this image, we find ourselves transported to a theater's dressing room where two actresses are engrossed in their preparations before taking the stage. With an air of elegance and grace, they sit comfortably in front of mirrors that reflect their beauty back at them. The soft lighting casts gentle shadows across their faces, enhancing their features and adding depth to the scene. Degas, known for his impressionist style, captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of these women as they focus on perfecting their craft. Their concentration is palpable as they carefully apply makeup or adjust their costumes with meticulous attention to detail. Through this artwork, Degas invites us into a private moment shared between these actresses and allows us to witness both vulnerability and strength within them. It serves as a reminder that behind every glamorous performance lies countless hours spent honing one's skills and preparing for moments under the spotlight. This print is truly a testament to Degas' ability to capture human emotion through his brushstrokes while showcasing his mastery of light and composition.
