WHEN ONE'S PORTRAIT IS EXHIBITED AT THE SALON. - IT'S FLATTERING, ISN'T IT EUDOXIE, TO BE SHOWN LIKE THIS IN PUBLIC, AND I DON'T REGRET THE 200 FRANCS IT HAS COST US... THERE IS A MAN LOOKING AT US... HE SEEMS TO THINK HIGHLY OF US! - (THE ART STUDENT): HOW CAN ANYBODY HAVE THE NERVE TO SIT FOR A PORTRAIT WITH A FACE LIKE THAT!

Honoré Daumier

Quand on a Son Portrait au Salon. - C'est tout d'même flatteur, Eudoxie, d'être exposé comme ça en public et je ne regrette pas les deux cents francs que ça nous a coûté..... voilà un monsieur qui nous regarde, il a l'air de nous trouver bien!.... (Le Rapin) Est-il Dieu permis de se faire peindre, quand on a des balles pareilles.

1844
