Degas Singer in Green Tote

A museum tote bag makes the perfect gift. Evoking The Singer in Green, an iconic pastel by Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917), this tote turns an everyday essential into a portable work of art. The singer's dress, rendered in yellow, turquoise, and orange, reflects Degas's experimentation with saturated hues and color contrasts in the mid-1880s. The pose and costume depicted in the piece are thought to derive from that of Thérésa (Emma Valadon, 1837-1913), a popular café-concert singer.
