From the original critique:
Delort has had the courage to remain a man of caprice. You have only lo visit his studio to convince yourself of this. Elbowing a modern picture you see a sketch of the style Louis Fifteenth. The Hussars of the first French republic jostle the Watteau shepherds, while Manon Lescaut looks at the group of Daphnis and Chloe. A heaping up of the most incoherent objects, a rummage-pile, a veritable kaleidoscope, rolling off before the eye of the amazed visitor, these are what result from such varying moods and such universal eclecticism; thev are the signs of a variegated kind of art, for our painter is conscienHous above everything, and the presence of a toy or a piece of armor or a morsel of tissue nrovesthnt he has nainted from it none if his work being done without the original model remaining in sight.
