PLATE I.—THE FLUTE-PLAYER
(In the MusÉe du Louvre)
Meissonier’s erudition was such that it enabled him to combine the skill of the artist with the utmost fidelity in details of costume. In the Flute-player, the artist predominates. This figure, with foot slightly raised in the act of beating time, is admirably life-like.
