jeffrey was a young man of rare beauty. Long brown hair and a curly beard framed his fresh-colored face… He lived for his art alone. His hands were beautifully shaped, excessively mobile and eloquent. His manner of speech, at least when I knew him, was wanting in brilliancy until he became animated, which he did after some minutes of conversation, then he spoke with great fluency and I have never heard a master who could expound with such precision his doctrines and his views.
