Introduction: On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 20 drawings that Albert Lebourg exhibited at the 4th ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1879 and the 5th ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1880. In 1879 Lebourg showed 10 drawings, probably all made of charcoal and depicting figures (catalogue numbers 128-137). In 1880 Lebourg showed 10 untitled charcoal drawings (catalogue numbers 95-104). Most works are not described, so the identification is almost impossible, see account. I hope at least that this page gives an impression of the charcoal drawings Lebourg made till 1880. See separate page for the paintings he exhibited in 1879 + 1880.

Clarification: Most suggestions are uncertain, sometimes I render more than one option, sometimes I render one picture for more than one title and sometimes I render other drawings to compare. Note: the drawings of Lebourg that depict figures are much more limited to be found. See the links for an account and an explanation of the subscriptions of the pictures. See at the bottom of the main page on Albert Lebourg for the used sources.
