Theodore Dure – personality, in many respects remarkable. It was one of the few art critics who from the very beginning understood and appreciated the works of the Impressionists.
With Whistler Dure maintained friendly relations, and then even became his biographer. By the way, the portrait of Theodore Dure was written not only by Whistler, but also by Edouard Manet.
