Mademoiselle Marie Dihau (1843–1935), 1867–68, Oil on canvas, 8 3/4 x 10 3/4 in. (22.2 x 27.3 cm), Paintings, Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834–1917 Paris), Marie Dihau was a successful pianist and singer who lived in Lille but often came to Paris to perform. She recalled that Degas executed this portrait quickly at a restaurant. Shown in sharp profile, wedged between the remnants of a finished meal and a carpetbag, the sitter—a traveling musician whom Degas typically caught on the run—effectively makes a cameo appearance in this compelling character study
