Included are artists Auguste Renoir, Jean-Frédéric Bazille, and Claude Monet, sculptor and journalist Zacharie Astruc, writer Émile Zola, and patron Edmond Maître. Fantin-Latour was a skilled lithographer, and it is possible that he used greasy crayons intended for drawing on slabs of limestone in the lithographic printing process to render this sketch on Manet's Studio in the Batignolles.
