Édouard Manet, Seated, Turned to the Left
Edgar Degas French
Portrait of Edouard Manet French
Not on view
In the drawing, Degas rendered Manet’s face in fine detail while his body and the drapery of his overcoat are more freely sketched in long, brisk strokes—an approach he likely adopted from the great French portraitist of the previous generation, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. The more regular hatching of the etching evens out the contrast between the head and body.
