New-York tribune., 1900-03-04

Although Second Empire fashions of dress and
coiffure thrust themselves fOrcibly upon the at
tentOn of visitors to the Stevens exhibition. it
would be a gross injustice to consider the Bel
gian petit grand maitre'' as a painter Of
fashion plates. The women who wear the elabo-
rately designed cashmeres and laces are by no
means insipid "manneqUins and models. but
real women. with animated expressions, with
temperaments and passions In fact, genre" or
episode painting is frequently exaggerated in
Stevens pictures. For instance, in the "Dou-
loureuse Gertrude the woman convinced of the
secret triumph of her rival IS far too theatrical
The series of "Visites.'' giving such captivating
glimpses of conversations and small talk over
cups of tea seems to be more appreciated now
than in the SIXTIES when most OF its members
were painted. 'Tous les Honneurs" represent
ing a fashionable young mother in russet brown
costume partly concealed beneath a white
ground cashmere shawl. seated beside blue
satin cradle nursing her infant. is charming. So
also is the Femme 4 la Fenetre' with its de
