Edgar Degas, a master of the line. The top-most image is my personal favourite sketch in the bunch. Within such few lines and simplified forms Degas is able to capture the physique as well as the attitude of this character. I say character because for the most part, the individuals Degas depicts seem to be void of individuality and fit within a certain class of people as a whole, whether a dancer or flaneur. The individuality of a figure is second to their energy.
