To the Reader
This catalogue is arranged alphabetically. If there are multiple works by the same artist (such as Bonvin and Milcendeau), the works are listed chronologically.
Titles are given in English. If the work is known by a title in another language, that title may also appear.
Single dates given with a “c.” (circa) indicates that the work was probably executed within five years before or after the date. A range of dates accompanied by “c.” (e.g., c. 1900–1909) indicates that the work was probably executed sometime within those years. Artists did not always date their works, and these typically are labeled “not dated.”
Dimensions are in inches and centimeters, with height preceding width.
Provenance includes the fullest information ascertainable at present, beginning with the earliest known owner. Brackets identify dealers. A semicolon separating owners signifies that the object passed directly between them. A period denotes a possible gap in ownership history. Lugt numbers refer to Frits Lugt’s Les Marques de collections de dessins et d’estampes (Amsterdam, 1921), a supplement (The Hague, 1956), and the online database, http://www.marquesdecollections.fr. A Lugt number following a collector’s name means the collector’s mark is on the drawing or mount.
References include all known references to the object, in chronological order. Exhibition catalogues are designated only if the object was in the show. The term “ill.” indicates that the artwork is reproduced in the publication.
When artworks lack provenance or exhibition information, it means that no such details have been located; however, if any are discovered later, they will be added.
Descriptive texts were contributed by Gabriel P. Weisberg (GPW), Thomas E. Rassieur (TER), and Rachel McGarry (RM).
