TINTORETTO PAINTING HIS DEAD
DAUGHTER, Léon Cogniet, Bordeaux Museum.
Tintoretto, his hair white with age,
his eyes filled with tears, is painting the portrait
of his dead daughter, Maria Robusti,
whose beautiful features and blonde tresses,
lighted by a lamp concealed behind a red
curtain, make her appear rather asleep than
dead. The face of Tintoretto is from his
portrait in the Louvre, but that of Maria is
much more beautiful than her portrait preserved
at Florence. Engraved by Achille
Martinet. Lithographed by Aug. Lemoine.—Larousse,
xv. 218.
