Excerpt from The Story of an Enthusiast: Told by HimselfThe picture, a portrait of the great artist, painted by himself, and similar in some respects to the one now in the Louvre. Collection, hung in my father's study, in a gloomy old hotel, Rue de Grenelle, Saint Germain, where most of the years of my childhood were passed.Associated with that picture is the memory of my mother, a dark piquant beauty with expressive eyes, smiling mouth, and lustrous black hair falling low over a. Broad white forehead. That brilliant, mobile face stands out from the background of memory clear and glowing, in strong contrast to the sombre serenity of the pictured head.I must have been about eight years old when one day my bonne said, Little master has a baby sister, come and look at her.I followed the nurse into my mother's room, where a feeble pink object lay in a cradle lined with silk and lace. Its eyes were closed, and it moaned constantly. I did not care at all for it, but turned eagerly to my mother, who lay also with closed eyes and white weary face.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
