"The Circassian's Toilette" is a brilliant work, in his best vein, of a French artists of exceptional powers of their kind. Jacquesson de la Chevreuse, who comes of a family of the old French nobility, devoted himself to art, and by family influence and means was enabled to make extensive travels, whose results are profitably applied in his pictures.

"April" is typified by Jacquesson de la Chevreuse as a lovely woman, embowered in the blossoms of an apple tree. It was the picture which represented him in the Salon of 1893, and materially added to his reputation.
