| Description |  |
Art historians have often focused on the relationship between Edgar Degas and his subject, Adde Dietz-Monnin, wife of a prominent French businessman and politician. Some difficulties arose between them in the course of painting the portrait. She rejected it because she thought it made her look drunk or like a prostitute.
