A Cotton Office in New Orleans

A Cotton Office in New Orleans, Edgar Degas, 1873

Delayed during a trip to New Orleans, Degas decided to paint to pass the time. Circumstances led to this being one of his first sales to a museum. I've featured this painting before but I love it, and the story, every time I come across it.
