Study carried out in the mid-1880s. At this time and until the 1890s, the painter attempted to capture scenes of daily life with a few strokes of the pencil. His inspiration from the genre scenes of Honoré Daumier is palpable in his drawings. This type of study was used to create paintings whose composition was inspired by gestures or situations sketched in the heat of the action.
