Singer with a Glove

[edit]

Based on sources at hand (all over 10 years old), I thought "anonymous singer" better described this than "named singing artist", although it's debatable. According to Brettel (1984), "tradition has it" that the model for the related oil in The Art Institute of Chicago was Alice Desgranges, and he says that the Fogg pastel represents "either another model or a complete alteration of the features of Mlle. Desgranges". Baumann & Karabelnik (1994) identify the model for the Chicago picture as the well-known Thérésa (Emma Valadon), but don't discuss the Fogg version. Is there a source that identifies the Fogg pastel as a named portrait? Ewulp (talk) 06:58, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the Degas apparently was not intended as a portrait, and with lack of a definitive ID for the singer, your edit is, as usual, on the money. Thanks Ewulp. JNW (talk) 11:39, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
