In The Beakful, how is the History discussed?
This canvas was the culmination of a long process that began with sketches and preparatory drawings made during 1848–1849. Some of the drawings are also kept at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille.
A painted sketch of Woman Feeding Her Children, made in 1848, is held at the Ahmed Zabana National Museum, in Oran, Algeria. Acquired in the 1950s, it was stolen in 1985 and found in France in 2001. It was returned to the Algerian authorities in 2014.
