The Antique Shop

ca. 1906

Not on view

This is one of three sketches of an antique shop in Dieppe that Sickert used as the basis for a larger painting (all whereabouts unknown). The picturesque town on the coast of Normandy had long been a summer destination for Sickert: he and other artist friends are the subject of a pastel group portrait by Degas, who encountered them there in 1885 (Museum of Rhode Island School of Design, Providence).
