This 1914 Paris auction catalogue from the Galerie Manzi-Joyant offers paintings, pastels, drawings and watercolours by French artists including Degas, Manet, Renoir and Cassatt, drawn from the collection of critic Roger Marx and sold through commissaires-priseurs. The plates reproduce works in soft chalk, pastel and monochrome printing. A designer could take from them the loose, smudged tonal modelling of pastel and charcoal, with figures caught in quiet intimate poses such as sleeping heads, seated women and reclining bodies.
