In the early 1880s she became an artist’s model, posing for such artists as Toulouse-Lautrec and Renoir. By observing the artists for whom she modeled, she began to learn technique and to draw and produce pastels. About 1890 she met Edgar Degas, who admired and purchased her work and whose friendship she won. -- source link
