Note 239 — Chapter II · SCULPTURE. (continued 2)

Walter Armstrong translation

We have not copied the uniform dark green tint forced upon the English publication by the necessity for printing in one colour. We have borrowed from the fragments in the possession of M. Schlumberger the broken hues of the patina deposited upon the bronze by age, a patina which has, perhaps, been too much removed by the cleaning to which the pieces in London have been subjected.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
