## Image Caption
A c. 1857 oil on canvas self-portrait by [Edgar Degas](https://www.worldhistory.org/Edgar_Degas/) (1834-1917), the French impressionist painter. This was part of a series of very similar self-portraits, all of which present Degas as rather introverted and melancholic. (Private Collection)
