Which art-works did Legros exhibit in 1876?
On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 25 art-works that Alphonse Legros exhibited at the 2nd ‘impressionist’ exposition of 1876 (catalogue numbers 81-92; note: some numbers contained several works). I render the pictures by form and in a more thematical order. On the overview page of the exhibited engravings and the 1876 slideshow I render the works in the catalogue order. Note: If you double click on the first (of a cluster of) pictures and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. On a smartphone or laptop you can also zoom in. Enjoy!

Clarification:
Some say Legros only exhibited etchings and lithographs (R90II,p39;R90I,p71), but others are less sure about that (R2,p178). Sometimes I render more than one suggestion, including some paintings (no.84 +91 +92), but probably they were not exhibited. Sometimes I render two options also in a compilation (no.83-2 +87). See the link for an account. See link for an explanation of the subscriptions. See for the used sources below at the main page about Alphonse Legros.
