Description

In 1872, Ferrier won the coveted prix de Rome, which allowed him to travel to Italy to study for three years at the expense of the State. This sketchbook is one that he used during his stay, and contains mainly copies of paintings by Italian artists that he would have seen in churches and galleries in Venice.

19th Century
Production date: circa AD 1875 : A copy of a portrait by his near-contemporary, Léon Bonnat (1833-1922) on one of the pages helps to date the sketchbook to c.1875, when Bonnat sent his painting (of Mme Pasca) to the annual Salon, and Ferrier had returned to Paris briefly to exhibit his own paintings there.
