Content Description

The writer has decided to follow Gibson's advice and paint that winter. However, it was difficult to choose a master, when one could not visit artists' studios as freely as in Rome. She cherishes the hope that Gibson will one day make her a present of a drawing of 'Cupid and Psyche', which he had once declared too bad to give her.
