Modernist Matchup

Edgar Degas

Manet and Degas were about the same age, and they were friends. Manet encouraged his friend to paint subjects from real life—here, he painted a woman who just took a bath. She does not look very much like the woman in Manet’s painting. 

How are the colors in this work different from the colors in Manet's painting?
