Édouard Manet Standing
Edgar Degas French
Not on view
Among the ten drawings that Degas made of Manet at the height of their friendship, around 1868, this work is distinct in its technique. Degas rarely used ink wash, especially in this period, whereas Manet frequently worked in the medium. It seems, therefore, that Degas adopted it here with his friend in mind. He later gave this work and several others to Manet’s niece Julie on the occasion of her marriage.
