Degas' L'Absinthe, of two lowly cafe drinkers, is the most famous painting among the 100 works to go on display. Works by Bonnard, Vuillard and Whistler will also feature in the London show.
The Tate exhibition will be divided into three parts, with the first examining the work of Degas in the 1870s, along with his French and British followers. The second looks at the 1880s, when Degas had an impact on a group of younger British painters. The exhibition ends with a look at Degas' and Toulouse-Lautrec's legacy, and Walter Sickert's increasing reputation in France.
Degas, Sickert and Toulouse-Lautrec: London and Paris 1870-1910 will run from 5 October until 15 January.
