Artist, French, 1832 - 1883

Against a hilly landscape and on a patch of dirt, five people wearing tattered clothing gather around a bearded man who holds a violin in his lap in this horizontal painting. Most of them have pale skin. Starting from the left is a barefoot young woman holding a blond baby to her chest. She faces our right, and her chestnut-brown hair hides her profile. She wears a black shirt over a calf-length skirt streaked with slate and aquamarine blue. To the right two young boys face us. The boy on the left of that pair wears a loose white shirt tucked into tan-colored pants and an upturned wide-brimmed hat. The boy next to him has short brown hair and is dressed in a black and brown vest and pants over a bone-white shirt. His right arm, to our left, is slung across the shoulders of the blond boy and he looks off to our right with dark, unfocused eyes. The man who holds the violin is to our right of center. He sits on a stone with his body facing our left, but he turns to look at us with dark eyes under heavy brows. He has tan skin, dark gray, curly hair, and a trimmed silvery gray beard. A wrinkle under one eye suggests he may smile slightly at us. He wears a loose brown cloak with a ragged bottom hem, teal-blue stockings, and black shoes. He holds a violin on his lap like a guitar. One hand fingers a chord on the neck of the violin, which comes toward us, and the other hand holds the bow and plucks a string. A sand-colored bag with a strap lies at his feet. Two men stand to our right of the musician. One wears a tall black top hat, a brown cloak, gray pants, and black shoes. His face is loosely and indistinctly painted but he has a beard. Finally, the sixth person is a man who stands along the right side of the painting and is cut off by that edge. He wears a turban, a black polka-dotted scarf, and a long black cloak or coat. One hand clutches the scarf and the other rests on a wooden cane by his side. His chin and long, light-colored beard tuck back against the scarf, and he looks off to our left with dark eyes. There are loosely painted olive and forest-green leaves in the upper left corner. The landscape beyond is painted with indistinct areas of muted green, blue, and brown. Bits of azure-blue sky peek through puffy white and gray clouds overhead. The artist signed and dated the lower right, “ed. Manet 1862.”

A ragtag group of people gathers around an elderly man holding a violin. He pauses, as if interrupted mid performance, and gazes directly at us. Who are these people? And where are they?

Beginning in the 1850s, Paris went through extensive urban renewal. The government tore down many older neighborhoods, forcing poor residents into the city’s undeveloped outskirts. Here Manet depicts homeless and marginalized people on a large scale normally reserved for the wealthy and powerful. He makes them visible, challenging us to acknowledge their humanity.

Artwork history & notes

Provenance

(Manet sale, Paris, 4 February 1884, no. 9, withdrawn). (Camentron, Paris); possibly from whom purchased 1897 by (Durand-Ruel, New York and Paris);[1] sold 27 January 1906 through (Adrien-Aurélien Hébrard [1865-1937], Paris) to Alexandre Berthier, 4th Prince de Wagram [1883-1918], Paris.[2] P.R. Pearson, Paris, by 1912. (Galerie Arnot, Vienna); purchased 1913 by Österreichische Staatsgalerie (now Österreichische Galerie Belvedere), Vienna; released 1923 in exchange for two other paintings, possibly to (Galérie Barbazanges, Paris);[3] (Hodebert, Paris).[4] Acquired 1930 in Germany by (Galerie Étienne Bignou, Paris) for (Alex Reid & Lefèvre, London);[5] sold 1930 to Chester Dale [1883-1962], New York; bequest 1963 to NGA.

[1] In 1904 Durand-Ruel lent the painting to an exhibition in Dublin organized by the collector Hugh Lane (1875-1915), who established that city's Municipal Gallery of Modern Art in 1908. Sarah Herring, Assistant Curator of 19th Century Paintings, National Gallery, London, first brought the 1904 exhibition to the NGA's attention (letter to Philip Conisbee, 11 February 2002, in NGA curatorial files). Dr. Philip McEvansoneya, Head of the Department of the History of Art and Architecture at Trinity College, Dublin, kindly provided references to reviews of the exhibition, and suggested that Lane may have considered purchasing the painting, as the collector did buy several other works lent by Durand-Ruel (e-mail, 8 June 2006, and letter, 20 July 2006, in NGA curatorial files).

[2] On the sale to Wagram, see Léa Saint-Raymond, “Coulisses et Ficelles du Métier: Dans les Pas du Prince de Wagram,” in Alice Ensabella, et al., Histoire des galeries d’art en France du XIXe au XXIe siècle, Paris: 2024: 136, 145; as well as Saint-Raymond and Hadrien Viraben, “The virtual collection of Alexandre Berthier, Prince of Wagram,” Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide vol.19, no 2 (Summer 2020), online at https://doi.org/10.29411/ncaw.2020.19.2.4. For a dataset documenting the prince's collection see Saint-Raymond and Viraben, "Alexandre Berthier, the 4th Prince de Wagram: documentation on his collection (1904-1917)", 2019, https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TIFXCH, Harvard Dataverse, V1

[3] In several publications during the 20th century (1919, 1925, and 1960), the painting is referred to as being owned by the "Musée de Vienne, Autriche" and "the Vienna Gallery." An inquiry to the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna was made in 2007, but no records concerning the painting were found. However, Karl Schütz, director of the KHM, suggested the painting had probably been instead at the Belvedere Museum, previously called the Österreichische Galerie; see e-mail from Elke Oberthaler of the KHM, 31 August 2007, in NGA curatorial files. This was confirmed by Monika Mayer, of the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, who kindly provided details of the 1923 transaction (see her e-mail, 12 December 2007, in NGA curatorial files). The two paintings for which the Manet was exchanged were Marietta by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Badende by Auguste Renoir.

[4] Hodebert was the successor to the Galerie Barbarzanges, which had been located on the property of fashion designer Paul Poiret. Poiret went bankrupt in early 1923 and lost the property; it is likely that the gallery changed hands at that time.

[5] Correspondence between Bignou and Reid & Lefèvre dated April-September 1930 (Lefèvre archives, Hyman Kreitman Research Centre, Tate Britain, London, TGA 2002/11, Box 218). The painting was possibly acquired through the Galerie Matthiesen in Berlin, where it was exhibited in 1928.
