Quotes

  • ..learn to draw: that's where most of you [Troyon's pupils] are falling down today.. ..draw with all your might; you can never learn to much. However, don't neglect painting, go to the country from time to time and make studies and above all develop them.
  • I have made as many as eighteen [rather definitive sketches of cattle] in one month..
