EDGAR DEGAS. Joseph-Henri Altès (1826-1895)

Joseph-Henri Altès (1826-1895). Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834-1917 Paris). Dimensions: 9 7/8 x 7 7/8 in. (25.1 x 20 cm); with added strips 10 5/8 x 8 1/2 in. (27 x 21.6 cm). Date: 1868. This profile view of the first flutist and concertmaster of the Paris Opéra, Joseph-Henri Altès, is one of Degas's many portraits of musicians. As a "little joke," Lousine Havemeyer, who originally owned the painting, hung it between two Renaissance portraits and was quite pleased to find that "the modern master held his own.".
