This room was painted in Normandy, France at Merril - Hubert on the country estate of Dega's childhood friend, Paul Valpincon. The artist regularly spent his summers here as a youth. In later years he would paint family portraits here as well as interior shots of the different rooms in this large house. In Billiard Room he tested his knowledge of angles in spaces and also horizontal and perpendicular lines. This was a grand room with the pool table being the focal point. Along one wall was a large bench for seating, what looks like a fireplace was at the head of the pool table and large canvases of fine art hung on each wall in the room. A nice rug was underneath the huge billiards table, these were definitely people of means. Famous Artists art print #118
