Illustrated catalogue of the notable private collection of paintings and pastels by ... Hilaire Edgar Degas
An auction catalogue issued by the American Art Association in New York in 1921 for the sale of Degas paintings and pastels held by dealers Jacques Seligmann & Co., made for collectors and bidders. Halftone plates reproduce pastels and charcoal studies of ballet dancers, women bathing and combing hair, with smudged tonal masses, loose contour lines and high-contrast grain useful for texture and gesture.
