Description

Leroy is remembered as the journalist and art critic for the French satirical newspaper Le Charivari, who coined the term "impressionists" to satirise the artists now known by the word. Signed. On chine-collé. Condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and foxing. There is a 2.5cm tear at the upper edge that stops at the plate line.
