Catalog Description
-
A picture in what is called the "Impressionist" school, the method of which is to transfer rapidly to the canvas the general impression of any scene. The Impressionists are thus the complete opposite of the Pre-Raphaelites, of whose work there were several good examples in last year's Exhibition, and who aim at presenting every detail with absolutel fidelity.
