Carolus-Duran had presented a portrait that the famous writer Joris-Karl Huysmans had greatly appreciated: ""Le portrait de Mme La Comtesse de Trois Etoiles rayonne au milieu de ces pauvretés. Je n'ai pas à décrire la nouvelle oeuvre de M. Carolus Duran puisque cette besogne a été faite déjà dans ce journal ; je me bornerai à quelques réflexions. Le portrait de M.

I need not describe the new work by M. Carolus Duran since this task has already been done in this journal; I shall limit myself to a few reflections. M.
