Which pictures did Cals show at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition? On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 11 pictures Adolphe-Félix Cals showed at the 2nd ‘impressionist’ exposition 1876. (catalogue numbers 25-35) This included 3 drawings. For one drawing I render an etch to compare (no.34). For 5 paintings I render compilations of two pictures, which I render as (very) uncertain options or to compare. All the other suggestions are also (very) uncertain. But, still this will render an overall impression of the 11 art-works that Cals did show. See also his works in the slideshow of all the works exhibited in 1876.
See link for an account of the given suggestions. For the general references (=R) see. For references to internet pages (=iR) see. For references to the additional sources (=aR) see at the bottom of the main page about Adolphe-Félix Cals.
I will render the pictures per theme and form. Enjoy!
