The French Impressionists are represented in the Barnet drawings ensemble by a work from Edgar Degas. Deux Jockeys, above, depicts one of his favourite artistic subjects: horse races. The 9½ x 12¼in (24 x 31cm) oil and gouache on brown paper, which was executed c.1868-70, was acquired by the Barnets in 1981 from the Walter Feilchenfeldt Gallery in Zurich. It is estimated at $80,000-120,000 in the Sotheby’s sale.
