"The great trouble about painting a whole gallery
of portraits at the same time is, that the housemaid comes
and dusts, and does not put them back the way they were
before, and so when the public flock to the studio and wish
to know which is Howells and which is Depew and so on, you
have to dissemble, and it is very embarrassing at first."
Mark Twain, Instructions in Art
