Portraits at the Stock Exchange, c. 1878-79

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pastel on paper print by renowned artist Edgar Degas. This intriguing piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offers a glimpse into the world of finance and commerce during 19th-century Paris. The composition centers around Ernest May, a prominent financier and collector, standing under the grand portico of the Paris stock exchange. Dressed impeccably in top hats and spectacles, May exudes an air of authority and sophistication. Surrounding him are fellow traders engrossed in their work, each with their own unique features - from moustaches to beards to pince nez glasses. Degas masterfully captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of these individuals engaged in their daily routines. The meticulous detailing brings life to every stroke on paper pieced together and laid down on canvas. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a bustling scene filled with men deeply involved in matters of trade and commerce. The play of light adds depth to each character's portrait while highlighting architectural elements such as columns and arches that frame this dynamic tableau. As viewers, we become part of this moment frozen in time - observing these figures as they navigate through financial transactions within the iconic walls of one of Europe's most important stock exchanges. Degas' "Portraits at the Stock Exchange" serves as both a historical document capturing an era long gone and a testament
