Fascinated by the women who entertained nightly in *café-concerts* , Edgar Degas filled many pages of his sketchbook with quick sketches of them. Here three rapid drawings cover one side of the sheet. From top to bottom, Degas experimented with drawing a singer's profile, head, and upper body holding a fan. At the top, another sketch of a face has been begun and then abandoned.
