Detail of the Sketch of a Courtyard of a House in New Orleans by Degas in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2023
Title: Courtyard of a House (New Orleans, sketch)
Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834–1917 Paris)
Date: 1873
Geography: Country of Origin France
Culture: French
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 23 5/8 × 28 15/16 in. (60 × 73.5 cm)
Framed: 34 5/8 × 40 1/4 × 4 3/4 in. (88 × 102.3 × 12 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Ordrupgaard, Copenhagen (238 WH)
Accession Number: MD.012
Degas began this view from his family’s house soon after he arrived in New Orleans. Apart from the two cotton-office scenes, shown nearby, it is his only painting placed in a recognizably New Orleans setting. Notably, it is also his only visual record from that city of a Black figure, shown here as a nanny, despite the many Black people he observed and mentioned in letters. First shown in 1876, at the second Impressionist exhibition, this “sketch,” as it was called, went totally unnoticed by the critics, who focused their attention on Degas’s Cotton Office and his painting of a laundress with bare arms.
