Degas Drawings

So back to my fave M d'O... (see below) in amongst all the wonderful Impressionist oils paintings, pastel creations, Art Nouveau designs and just general beautifulness housed in this establishment there is also currently a Degas exhibition. 
Degas et le nu aka 'Degas and the nude' is full of sketches and sculptures by the artist of nikid bodies, well generally naked women featuring a fair few bath tubs n all. But the sheer amount on display is just amazing and the pastel colours-often using oil pastels are just too pretty with his soft lines and gentle shading. 
... Want a return billet sil vous plait!
