1872, Edouard Manet, The Races in the Bois de Boulogne -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: Étienne Moreau-Nélaton, a champion of Manet's art and a collector who owned, among other works, his Déjeuner sur l'herbe, pointed out that the artist owed his interest in the subject of the racetrack to Degas. Degas's drawing of Manet at the races, shown in this gallery, confirms that the two artists were there together. Manet may have corroborated this evidence; the spectator in the top hat at the bottom edge of this painting is possibly Degas.
