Exhibition History

French Drawings in the Time of Degas

August 19, 2005 - January 22, 2006

Degas profoundly admired Corot’s figure studies and landscapes, although he primarily collected the latter. He loved Corot’s early paintings, which had a hard-edge clarity quite different from the softer, more atmospheric style of this drawing, typical of Corot’s work of the 1850s.
