Felix Bracquemond was an important catalyst in the printmaking activities of both Manet and of Degas. He not only provided technical advice and assistance but also in his role of artistic director of the Haviland porcelain company at Auteil he made use of at least one Degas lithograph as the basis for porcelain decoration (see lot 265).
