" The selection of drawings from the Getty's collection shows a variety of techniques, functions, and styles, and includes examples by Fraṅois Boucher, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Lorrain, Jean-Baptiste Oudry, Camille Pissarro, Tȟodore Rousseau, and Georges Seurat. Together these images reveal a fascinating tension between a passion for the real and the quest for an ideal.
