The joint communiqué was limited to bland assurances of mutual esteem and wishes for world peace. French loans for Venezuelan development? There was little talk of that.

"Sargent" meant "portrait" -work high in esteem during his lifetime, low after his death in 1925 when he became confused with less talented imitators, high again now that most of the portraits have found their way into great museums. Yet before he began concentrating on commissioned portraits, and sometimes during that period, and often after he balked...
