# Estérel Village, in Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas made this in about 1890, aged about 51. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> This landscape is one of many monotypes that Edgar Degas produced throughout his career. The work belongs to a series Degas made while visiting a friend in the French countryside. Its blurriness resembles the view he saw out the window of trains and carriages during his travels.
