Summary

Description
English: Gabriel Guay, En l'absence du maître, painting exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1877; reproduced as an etching in L'illustration: journal universel, issue number 1816, December 15 , 1877. p. 380. Location of original painting unknown. For contemporary reception, see p. 375 of the issue: "En l'absence du maître, tableau de M. Gabriel Guay. Le nègre est-il un homme dégénéré, ou un singe perfectionné ? Toujours est-il que, avec sa face aplatie, éclairée par un rayon de joie stupide, le héros du M. Guay n'a rien de flatteur pur ses confrères de l'espèce humaine. Mais rien de plus gai en même temps et de plus amusant que ce domestique qui s'est empressé de profiter de l'absence de son maitre pour saisir son pinceau à barbe et se savonner le menton. Le voici tout émerveillé lui-même de se voir la lèvre si blanche; son étonnement sera bien plus grand encore quand la mousse légère aura fondu et qu'il aura revu sa peau noire comme auparavant."
