Introduction: On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 14 art-works Forain did exhibit at the 8th ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1886 (catalogue numbers 29-41), including 1 work that was not in the catalogue (=hc); 8 of them were loans. Sometimes I render more than one option. See also my account. See for the sources at the bottom of the main page about Forain. See link for explanation of the subscription of the paintings.
