Synopsis

The history of French painting is not the same thing as a history of French drawing, although the two do of course frequently combine. The very greatest French draughtsmen, such as Watteau, Fragonard, Ingres or Degas (all represented in this book) were also amongst the greatest painters. Fifty-two works are illustrated, from a collection of over 2000, from early 17th century chalk drawings by Callot, Stella and Claude Lorraine, through to late 19 century drawings and watercolours by the likes of Manet, Berthe Morisot and Tissot.
