This striking portrait, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, represents the flutist and composer Joseph-Henri Altès. Degas paints him in profile, a format reminiscent of the medals and portraits of the Italian Renaissance that he admired. The face stands out against a dark, neutral background, focusing all attention on the model’s features. The touch is precise and controlled, finely capturing the psychology of this man of music. It is a portrait of great nobility and intensity, which attests to Degas’s connections with the Parisian musical world.
