English character writing should be distinguished from French portraits,
which may have been imitated from Holland or copied from the famous
relazioni in which the Venetian ambassadors depicted the most important
personalities of the court to which they might be attached; see M. de
Boislisle Ann. -Bulletin de la Soc. de l'Hist. de France, t. XXXIII, 1896.
The French portrait consists in a description of the physiognomy, complexion,
figure, appearance and mannerisms of an individual designated under a
pseudonym. This art was cultivated in the salons which flourished during the

first half of the 16th cent. , in such romances as Le Grand Cyrus and Clélie and
in the collection of portraits made under the auspices of Mlle de Montpensier.
After the appearance of Charles Sorel's Description de l'isle de Portraiture,
1659, the art, as a social amusement, began to decay, but reached its consum-
mation in the memoir-writers, especially Saint Simon, and started on a new
stage of development in La Bruyère. Owing to the absence of salons in
England, this style of writing has remained undeveloped, though there are
a few striking exceptions, such as Philautus's description to Psellus of the
Gentlewoman in Euphues and his England (p. 340 of Arber's ed. ), Nashe's
portrait of Harvey in Have with you, the pictures of low-class passengers
in the Cobler of Canterburie and Westward for Smelts, the portrait of
Colonel Hutchinson by his wife and the historical portraiture of the second
half of the 17th cent. On the other hand, the cultivation of portraits, maxims,
etc. , have left French 17th cent. literature poor in character sketches of the
English type, Le Moine's Peintures Morales, 1643, being the nearest parallel
in this period. It should also be noted that the same influence which favoured
the portrait and starved the generic character also hindered the development
of the discursive essay, in spite of Montaigne's example, bat encouraged the
maxime and the pensée, i. e. condensed and aphoristic reflections, of which
the most accomplished master was La Rochefoucauld.
