"... Once Manet sees a girl of about twenty in Mober's Square, she immediately attracted him by her extraordinary appearance-a defiantly defiant look, a face marked by bright beauty.What a model this girl would be, she could certainly help create a big picture, about what he long dreams.
She has a small but strong, thin, graceful body. This blonde with a rusty hue of hair, matte, very pale skin, large brown eyes bordered by such light eyelashes that they are almost not noticeable. Suddenly, Manet is next to her and with his usual unconstrained charm, the gourmet smile is playfully asking if she would not have agreed to pose for him.
Well, of course! Why not? A native of Montmartre, this girl - her name is Quiz-Louise Meran - dreamed only of one thing: to break out of poverty. Did she trade herself? May be. Looking at the mirror in the mirror, the face of a dazzling snowy whiteness, brown, with golden eyes, she gives herself up to unrealizable dreams about the theater, imagines herself an actress. She - so it seems to her - an artistic nature. The proposal of Manet does not shock her, she is not surprised - she was waiting for him; this is a sign of fate.

uiz Meran immediately begins to pose in the studio on Guyot Street. She can strum on the guitar. So why not become a musician? And now Manet already writes from her "Street singer" - holding the instrument with one hand, she eats cherries when she leaves the cabaret. This painting is juicy, virtuosic, where the gray tones of skirts and blouses, trimmed with a black cord, form the richest variations within a single register.
The quiz has all the qualities of a gorgeous model; first of all, naturalness, which is very rare in the representatives of this profession, and at the same time it is a wonderful property to adapt to the artist, to enter into a variety of roles - the ability, which undoubtedly explained the theatrical thoughts of Quiz; In addition, also patience, understanding the significance of the work of the painter, accuracy.
The quiz likes not only the Mane-artist, she likes Mane-man. Soon an intimate affinity arises between them, and the rumor of this creeps through Paris. Of course, Suzanne does not know anything, besides, her temper is meek, and is it worth it to sound the alarm because of some whim, a whim ... "

Hurd (1765-1766, all - the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) - give an idea of the , that Copley was one of the best American portrait painters of his time.
Artistic career
In 1766, Copley sent a picture of Henry Pelham (Boy with a Squirrel) to London for an exhibition, and he received the most flattering reviews, including from J. Reynolds, who stated that Copley could become a master of the world magnitude - with the appropriate artistic education.
In 1774, on the eve of the war for the independence of the United States and in view of the turbulent political situation, Copley left America, and after a while with his family settles in London.
In London, Copley closely mingled with the painter B. West, his compatriot who arrived in England eleven years earlier and by that time had already won the recognition of the public. Under the influence of West Copley refers to the historical genre. In his first significant work of this kind (Brook Watson and the Shark), the artist develops the theme of man's struggle with the destructive forces of nature, which later becomes the hallmark of all romanticism of the XIX century.
In 1799, Copley became a member of the Royal Academy of Arts.
In the last years of his life, Copley's health deteriorated sharply, but he continued to work until the last months of his life.
He died in London on September 9, 1815.
