Rarely exhibited, 18th-century French drawings constitute one of the great treasures of Rouen's collections. This selection brings together nearly 150 works from the Museum of Fine Arts and the Municipal Library, including major works by the greatest artists of the period, from Watteau to David, including Boucher, Fragonard, and Greuze. It also brings together surprising works by lesser-known draftsmen, including many previously unpublished works, to create a panorama that reflects the variety of techniques, styles, and uses of graphic design at this time: from the painting project to the ornamentalist's model, from the traveler's drawing to the figure study or portrait.
