Editorial Note:

In 1924, the French artist, Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940), made a pastel portrait of Dr Pierre Quiserne during his stay at the thermal baths of Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, where he (Vuillard) was recovering from an attack of phlebitis (see Antoine Salomon and Guy Cogeval with Mathias Chivot, Vuillard: The Inexhaustible Glance: Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings and Pastels, Volume III, Milan, Skira, 2003, p. 1418, no. XI-222).
