At the Milliner's

Hi everyone, I'm Isabella! Welcome to the museum! Today, we're going to look at a painting called "At the Milliner's." That's a fancy word for a hat shop! nn Can you say "milliner?" nn Great job! Now, look at the painting. What do you see? nn That's right! We see two women in a hat shop. They look very fancy, don't they? The woman on the right is trying on a hat. Do you think she likes it? nn Look at her friend. She's looking at all the hats on display. There are so many colors and styles! nn The painter, Edgar Degas, loved to paint everyday life. He wanted to show us what it was like to be in a hat shop in Paris a long, long time ago. nn Do you think the hats in the painting are similar to the hats we wear today? nn Let's look closely at the colors in the painting. Do they look bright and bold, or soft and gentle? nn You're right, they're soft and gentle, just like the light in a hat shop! Degas was a master of light and shadow. He used them to make the painting look real. nn "At the Milliner's" is a beautiful painting that shows us a moment in time. It's like a snapshot of life in Paris over a hundred years ago. nn What do you think the women are talking about? nn Maybe they're deciding which hat is the prettiest! nn Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed looking at this amazing painting with me!
