Explication :
I render the pictures mainly in the order of the catalogue numbers, 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.
