    This is hard. Love Daumier's prints. Oh well. Degas.

    Daumier's grown on me a bit, but definitely Degas.

    Both?

    If I had to swing one way, after some deliberation, I would go Degas. Since I have to swing one way, Degas.

    Degas. Some years back I was blown away seeing some of his pastels at the Met in NYC. It'll take a lot for me to vote for someone else.

    With a 9-2 sweep, Degas glides easily into the semi-finals. Daumier will just have to see what he can do over yonder in the Left Bracket.
