There are two ateliers 5 but Digitized by Google MBISSONIER. 3 the larger one, for some reason best known to the painter, serves as a kind of antechamber to the smaller. The latter is a retreat to which Meissonier, who is one of the shyest of men, escapes from the world. It is difficult to give an idea of the amplitude of the great one without going into measure- ments ; but certainly it would hold the deliberative assembly of a smfdl State.

From the smaller studio we may pass out into the open air by a gallery which forms the roof of the arcade, and make the round of the premises to the coach-houses and stables, all in perfect keeping of style. Even the back stairs are, in their way, exquisite specimens of early Italian work."
