The red signature visible on these Degas drawings was made with a stamp. Executors used it to mark and authenticate the large collection of working drawings and other autograph material discovered in the artist's studio after his death in 1917. This potential archive might (and should) have been preserved intact, but was instead dispersed by the heirs during the early 1920s in a series of sales.
