Bashkirtseff

Marie Bashkirtseff was a child of precocious intelligence, ardent will, extreme intensity of life.

But in her great passion—her ambition, Marie Bashkirtseff was beautifully consistent.

It reconciles to the barbarous, even where Tolstoi and Marie Bashkirtseff may have failed.

At one time Mlle. Bashkirtseff had suffered with her eyes, and, getting better of that, she had an attack of deafness.

It is probable that the "Meeting" received no medal because it was suspected that Mlle. Bashkirtseff had been aided in her work.
