With Mademoiselle de Villevieille we went to the Dominicans of the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, but the entrance is ordinary and will not suit the painting.
Yesterday I had white spots before my eyes for more than an hour, I had been staring at the model so hard.
Afterwards I took Amélie to my house to hear the Spanish songs of my Black servant.
I spoke to Julian about the painting and the Salon, and we have settled on a good, sensible programme.
