Degas was there from day one of the Impressionist movement. And from day one he broke the rules. No plein air for him. He preferred his studio over standing in a field, even when the subject was outdoors. He clashed with Monet, with Renoir, and eventually even Caillebotte and Pissarro got tired of dealing with him before every exhibition.
At the Mirror is one of the last paintings he made before it all really broke.
