Charles Bargue paintings


Charles Bargue (c. 1826/1827 – April 6, 1883) was a french artist. A lithographer as well as a painter, who devised a drawing course. He is better known for the drawing cource (which is about 150 litographed drawings, that were meant students to copy, for a preliminary excercise of drawing casts and live model). But he was also quite good painter. He didnt painted like big figure compositions or other big complex things. Instead he did perfect small scale single figure paintings.
