Excerpts
- Paul Lacroix spoke of his "oval face, fine curly hair, and magnetic blue eyes"
- "... a clever pastiche from a composite miniature painted about 1820 ; but a third portrait, engraved by H. Biberstein in 1866, has value from an artistic point of view and corresponds very closely with the description given by Uzanne.
- It cannot escape notice that both Uzanne [probably in his preface to "Une Idée sur les romans" ] and Lacroix, as also the Biberstein picture, delineate a markedly homosexual type, and there can be no doubt that at this period the Marquis de Sade was greatly addicted to passive homosexuality.
