TINTORETTO PAINTING HIS DEAD DAUGHTER, Léon Cogniet, Bordeaux Museum. Tintoretto, his hair white with age, his eyes filled with tears, is painting the portrait of his dead daughter, Maria Robusti, whose beautiful features and blonde tresses, lighted by a lamp concealed behind a red curtain, make her appear rather asleep than dead. The face of Tintoretto is from his portrait in the Louvre, but that of Maria is much more beautiful than her portrait preserved at Florence. Engraved by Achille Martinet. Lithographed by Aug. Lemoine.—Larousse, xv. 218.
