[Illustration: PLATE I.--THE FLUTE-PLAYER
(In the Musée du Louvre)
Meissonier's erudition was such that it enabled him to combine
the skill of the artist with the utmost fidelity in details of
costume. In the _Flute-player_, the artist predominates. This
figure, with foot slightly raised in the act of beating time, is
admirably life-like.]
