The autumn of a woman's life offers many that are very toothsome, those looks, for instance, bold, and yet reserved, bathed with the last rays of love, so warm, so sweet; that all-wise elegance of speech, those magnificent shoulders, so nobly developed, the full and undulating outline, the dimpled hands, the hair so well arranged, so cared for, that charming nape of the neck, where all the resources of art are displayed to exhibit the contrast between the hair and the flesh-tones, and to set in full relief the exuberance of life and love.
During his later years Gibson took largely to tinting his statues colouring them faintly with flesh-tones and other hues like nature; and this practice he advocated with all the strength of his single-minded nature.
Natalie's gleaming flesh-tones died into the shadows, and he stood for a moment, looking up at it, a dead thing, remote, flat, without significance. Then he sat down at his desk and took up a bundle of government papers. There was still work. Thank God for work. Audrey was in Paris on the eleventh of November.

Here is not only the subtle equilibrium between man and the things that surround him, but the things themselves flesh-tints, drapery, garbs, polished floor, chairs, table, and wall tapestry are saturated with light; absorbed by the inert matter which nevertheless vibrates and, like the flesh-tones, remains puissant and individual. Humanity is the central and sounding note of his art.
Neither can show the mastery or the spell by which the green background, the hair, the cool transparent flesh-tones, the fur, the satin, the gold, are all woven into a witchery as virile as it is penetrating.
