great painter, Y, who is no idealist
either, II he put green and bitumen in his
flesh tints. He laughed and replied:
THAT depends. For portraits, never in
the light, except in painting persons who
have been hanged, the sick, or some horri-
BILE subject; then they are Of immense
service For instance, there is q great
deal Of green in the figures Of Dante in
iell by Courtois, and an immense quan-
tity of bitumen in the Job Of Bonnat!"
And here l have put green and bitumen
in full highland all er!-and it is the
only thing that 81, re exact tone! l

physiognomy. How his large mustache
accentuates the expression Of his features!

been soldiers. It Is only those who ar
range their whiskers in that fashion. He
Is probably severe, but good and gentle
