Mlle Bécat is a 1878 by Edgar Degas, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, facing the viewer. She is dressed in a long, dark dress with a white collar and a hat. The background is a warm, golden color. The woman's face is blurred, and her features are not clearly defined. The overall effect is one of softness and subtlety, with the woman's figure blending into the background. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Degas, Edgar.
