Francisco Goya
Spanish · b. 1746

Goya's etchings and aquatints share Manet's bold, expressive line work and monochromatic drama, and his depictions of Spanish performers and bullfighters in series like La Tauromaquia reflect the same cultural fascination with Spanish tradition and character.

Honoré Daumier
French · b. 1808

Daumier's printmaking and figure studies capture performance and personality through economical yet powerful draftsmanship, closely paralleling Manet's ability to convey psychological presence and movement in monochromatic works on paper.

Anders Zorn
Swedish · b. 1860

Zorn's celebrated etchings demonstrate a similarly confident and expressive linear technique used to portray individual figures with great immediacy and character, making his portrait etchings especially comparable to Manet's depiction of Don Mariano Camprubi.
