The Milliners is a 1892 oil by Edgar Degas, a Impressionism work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting shows two women sitting at a table, surrounded by various items. The woman on the left is holding a pink object, while the woman on the right is looking down at something in her hand. The table is cluttered with yellow and orange fabrics, and there are several other objects scattered around the room. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The colors are muted, with a focus on earth tones and pastels. The overall effect is one of quiet intimacy, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment. The artist who created this painting is Edgar Degas.
Born Hilaire-Germain-Edgar De Gas on 19 July 1834 in Paris, Edgar Degas came from an affluent banking family with aristocratic roots and spent his childhood among the cultivated circles of the French capital.
