151. Gendarmes

For the Romanian art in the second half of the 19th century, as regards graphic art, Grigorescu continues the heritage of Carol Popp de Szathmari, perhaps the most important Romanian watercolourist. Together with the body of engraved work left behind by Theodor Aman, Grigorescu's drawing studies are the most significant graphic heritage. The subjects chosen by Grigorescu for his drawn pages and albums are part of a few easily identifiable categories: preparatory studies for final oil compositions; report albums created during the War of Independence; caricatures; his life or that of his friends and family.
