From an inscription in the flyleaf of his 1859 Journal:
“Addresses of models given to me by Corot:
Madame Hirsch, rue Lamée, No. 6. Superb head, brunette, same type as la Ristori.
Adele Rosenfeld, rue du Marché-Sainte-Catherine, No. 5. Reclining pose seemed to me superb.
Josephine Leclaire, rue de Calais, No. 4. Very elegant, beautiful figure, thin arms.”
