“Mr. Mélingue [Roustan] makes you go to bed across a door […], a stone’s throw from a chair where the victorious sword and the small hat has been deposited. He sleeps with this sleeping both noisy and worried about the man who feels essential, and the vigilant sleep of this big man forces us to think. Really, we say, is the size is that? Should we, for a hero loaded with glory to be able to rest for a few moments, that a vulgar, but devoted being, sleeps across his threshold? Does Caesar’s worried sleep depends on the presence of Roustan at his door? This is the moral idea. I don’t know if she haunted the painter’s brain when he composed, drew and painted his curious study; But here she is as she springs from her painting, at least for the intelligent public who reasons and who thinks. 1885 lounge »
