Edgar Degas used his notebook not only to record a work of art that he admired, a performance he had attended, or a person he observed but also as a place to experiment with ideas. Here he began a sketch of a man's profile with a long, feathery moustache. He was either disrupted, however, or he became quickly dissatisfied with the idea, as he never finished the scene.
