Edgar Degas - Millinery Store

 The identity of the young woman in the painting remains unclear: she may be a salesgirl or a customer. In the first version of the work, the woman is clearly intended to be a customer; she wears a fashionable dress, although her hat, a prerequisite symbol of bourgeois culture, is absent. In this painting, the woman appears with her mouth pursed, as if holding a pin, and her hands gloved, possibly to protect the delicate fabric of the hat she holds. Degas seems to have deliberately left his role as creator or consumer ambiguous. (Art Institute of Chicago - Oil on canvas, 100 × 110.7 cm)
