This image is a press clipping, dated July 26, 1941, from the Christian Science Monitor, distributed by its Press Clipping Service located at 2 Park Square, Boston, Mass.
The clipping features a monochrome reproduction of the artwork:
“Portrait of Julie Bellefée, by Degas”
The artwork itself is a ** charcoal or pastel drawing** depicting a young girl, Julie Bellefée, seated in a dark wooden chair. She is shown in three-quarter profile, looking down and to her right with a pensive or melancholy expression. She wears a light-colored, full-skirted dress with puffed sleeves and a high, frilled collar. Her right hand rests on her hip, while her left arm is bent, holding a small, indistinct object (possibly a doll or book) close to her chest. Her feet dangle slightly above the floor, one shoe untied and slipping off.
The drawing style is characteristic of Edgar Degas — sketchy, expressive, with strong contrasts between light and shadow, and an emphasis on the natural, unposed posture of the sitter. The artist’s signature, “Degas,” is visible in the lower right corner of the artwork.
