Аннотация:Medardo Rosso selling a reproduction to a bourgeois is […] truly […] comedic […] He takes the unlucky guy, turns his nose to the wall enjoining him to stay in this penitent posture […] Then he goes to a big Norman chest that conceals the work he wants to sell […], opens a lid, plunges into the chest, brings out […] a piece of […] plush cloth, […] drapes it on a wooden chest or a seat, […] quickly runs to the window, plays with the curtains of the atelier for the illumination […] And if the restless bourgeois risks glancing at these preparations, Rosso vehemently warns him not to move, reprimanding him 'Per Cristo, don't turn around!' Finally, after half an hour of beseechments […], Rosso, having placed the wax […] on the pedestal decorated by a plush cloth, declares: 'And now look!' The relieved bourgeois turns around […] and […] declares-how superb it is and generally he buys.If he was not convinced he wouldn't dare confess this and would leave with the object anyway.1
