Edgar Degas was a French artist who was regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism. Following his service in the Franco-Prussian War, in 1872, Degas began an extended stay in New Orleans where his brother René and a number of other relatives lived. Staying at the home of his Creole uncle, Michel Musson, Degas produced a number of works, many depicting family members. One of Degas's New Orleans works, A Cotton Office in New Orleans, garnered favorable attention back in France and was his only work purchased by a museum (the Pau) during his lifetime.
