He studied under the academic painter Louis Lamothe and became friends with fellow artists like Édouard Manet.3. **Impressionism:** Degas is often associated with the Impressionist movement, although he preferred to be considered an independent realist. He exhibited in several of the Impressionist exhibitions, sharing common interests with artists like Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.4. **Subject Matter:** Degas is best known for his depictions of ballet dancers, horse racing, and Parisian scenes. He captured moments of modern urban life, often focusing on movement, light, and the human figure.5. **Ballet Dancers:** One of Degas's most iconic subjects is ballet dancers. He created numerous paintings, drawings, and sculptures depicting dancers in various poses and stages of rehearsal.6. **Innovative Compositions:** Degas was innovative in his compositions, using unusual angles and perspectives. He frequently cropped his compositions to focus on specific details, creating a sense of immediacy.7. **Media:** Degas worked in various media, including oil painting, pastel, sculpture, and printmaking.

Vanessa Kirby (as Princess Margaret): A full-length satin and tulle butterfly pattern ballgownSeason 2, Episode 4, 'Beryl'Custom-made sweetheart bodice dress with interspersed sequins depicting various types of butterflies to the tulle overlay, labelled to the inside Margaret; with a pastel rainbow-coloured tulle waist sash, a white tulle shoulder flounce with colourful butterfly embellishment and a white petticoat (4)Footnotes:As seen in the Cecil Beaton portrait scene.Sir Cecil Beaton (1904 - 1980) was a British photographer. He was the Royal Family's court photographer for three generations, starting in 1937. In this role, he was responsible for photographing Princess Margaret on the occasion of her 19th birthday in 1950; she posed in front of a variety of painted backgrounds, wearing a white tulle gown with butterfly sequin decoration, a pearl necklace and a pearl and diamond-clasp bracelet. In 1950, a book about the Princess praised her fashion sense, stating that she, 'probably sets more youthful fashions than any other teenager in the world.' The official portrait of the Princess is held in The National Portrait Gallery's Primary Collection (object number NPG P349). In The Crown, contrary to Costume Designer Jane Petrie's original vision for the dress, Vanessa Kirby chose to wear the flounce overlay off the shoulder. This is in contrast to the Royal dress code of the time and differs from the way Princess Margaret wore it in her portrait.This was one of the most expensive outfits to make from this season, due to the lengthy creation process, which entailed fabric cutting, screen printing the butterfly details, and then embroidery over the screen print. The embroidery was carried out by Barna Bhowmik and members of her family, to a very tight schedule due to filming requirements. The rainbow sash was also hand-dyed.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
