Andrée Madeleine Heuschling

Whensoever we would proceed beyond [the] simple ideas we have from sensation and reflection, and dive farther into the nature of things, we fall presently into darkness and obscurity, perplexedness and difficulties; and can discover nothing farther but our own blindness and ignorance.

 

Words by John Locke

 

The Muse, better known as Catherine Hessling, inspired two Renoir's, however ended her days in obscurity and poverty. How very sad.
