Thomas Couture's "Les Romains de la Decadence" presages the photograph beneath it, "Le Salon". Bonnat's "Madame Cahen d'Anvers" patterns Doerstling's "The Ondine of Nidden" with flowing female lines. Morot's "The Temptation of St. Anthony" parallels "Witches Sabbath" by Falero. "Psyche's Bath" by Leighton and "La Fortune" by Maignon share the columns and Greco-Roman sense of majesty and strength.
