  • Roger Marx (1859-1913) was one of the leading critics of the Parisian avant-garde in the late 19th century, a job he combined with that of inspector of Fine Arts. A staunch defender of Impressionism and of artists such as Degas, Daumier, Bonnard and Cézanne, he is portrayed here by Ramón Casas in a hitherto unpublished drawing made in the early 1890s, shortly after he was immortalised by Eugène Carrière.
