The Jewels, c. 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Edgar Degas is a captivating pastel on paper that transports us to a bustling jewelry shop in 19th-century France. In this mesmerizing artwork, two women lean forward over a counter, their eyes fixated on a jewel-encrusted brooch held up by the woman closest to us. The level of detail and precision with which Degas captures the scene is truly remarkable. As we delve deeper into the composition, we notice a third woman sketched in at the lower right foreground. Her presence adds an air of mystery as her figure remains unfinished, leaving room for our imagination to fill in the gaps. With her elbow resting on the counter and hands clasped together in front of her, she seems equally captivated by the exquisite piece before them. Degas' mastery lies not only in his ability to depict human figures but also in his skillful portrayal of light and texture. The jewels glisten under soft illumination while delicate shadows dance across each surface. This attention to detail showcases Degas' impressionistic style and highlights his keen observation of everyday life. "The Jewels" invites us into a world where beauty meets commerce, where artistry intertwines with consumerism. It reminds us that even within mundane transactions like buying or selling jewelry, there exists an opportunity for artistic exploration and appreciation. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to bring home a piece of Degas' genius and immerse ourselves in this enchanting moment frozen
