One distinguished person, who favored him with forty sittings for his head alone, declared he was the slowest painter he had ever sat to, and he had sat to many. He would draw the portrait in chalk, the size of life, on paper; this occupied but one sitting, but that sitting lasted nearly one whole day. He next trans- [31] 32 MASTERS IN ART ferred this outline from the paper to the canvas; his picture and his sitter were placed at a distance from th...e point of view where, to see both at a time, he had to traverse all across the room before the conception which the view of his sitter suggested could be proceeded with. In this incessant transit his feet had worn a path through the carpet to the floor, exercising freedom both of body and mind ; each traverse allowing time for invention, while it required an effort of memory between the touch on the canvas and the observation from which it grew. " Thus we see that the happy facility with which, as a boy, he had been able to seize the likeness of individuals had left him; or his knowledge of the difli- culties and sense of the perfection of art had induced in him patient effort and continuous repetition.
