From Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City:
This seems to be an independent work that was developed in two stages. It probably began as a pencil drawing on a smaller sheet of paper that was enlarged by adding strips of paper at the bottom and sides. Degas completed the portrait with diluted oil pant and touches of pastel. The identity of the sitter is unknown.
