Title: Study for "Déjeuner sur l'herbe" Artist: Edouard Manet (French, Paris 1832–1883 Paris) Date: ca. 1863–68 Geography: Country of Origin France Culture: French Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 35 1/4 × 45 7/8 in. (89.5 × 116.5 cm) Framed: 44 13/16 × 55 11/16 × 5 1/8 in., 63.9 lb. (113.8 × 141.5 × 13 cm, 29 kg) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: The Courtauld, London (Samuel Courtauld Trust) (P.1932.SC.232) This work is a version of Manet’s Déjeuner sur l’herbe, the startling depiction of a picnic scene with two nearly naked women in the company of fully clothed men that became the artist’s first succès de scandale in 1863. The painting draws on his study of famed Italian Renaissance artworks, yet reframes those references into an entirely new style and context. Rejected by the official French Salon in 1863, it was hung instead at the Salon des Refusés, where it won him immediate notoriety. The broad strokes and seemingly quick application of paint in the version he exhibited belie the fact that the artist worked on the composition for a good year before showing it. This work may have been part of that preparatory process. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/845746

Degas produced more than twenty millinery-themed works, making the subject central to his study of modern Parisian women. Viewed from above as if by a standing customer, the woman here appears to be a shop clerk, her lips pursed around a pin as she carefully examines a hat.

Title: Eugène Manet Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834–1917 Paris) Date: 1874 Culture: French Medium: Oil on paper laid down on board Dimensions: 24 13/16 × 31 5/16 in. (63 × 79.5 cm) Framed: 37 × 43 5/16 × 3 3/4 in., 17 lb. (94 × 110 × 9.5 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Private collection Degas painted this portrait of Manet’s younger brother Eugène to mark the occasion of his marriage to Berthe Morisot and offered it to the couple as a wedding gift. It stands out among Degas’s portraits for placing the sitter in a landscape. Both the outdoor setting and his reclined posture recall Manet’s Déjeuner sur l’herbe (1863), for which Eugène had similarly posed, holding a walking stick. Degas exhibited this work at the second Impressionist exhibition, in 1876, along with the oil sketch of Eugène’s sister-in-law, Yves Gobillard, also on view in this gallery.
