Reviewed in Le Journal des livres : revue bibliographique.
“Mr. Eugène Accard, whose paintings have already been noticed at the Palais de l'Industrie, during the exhibition of 1861, is a young painter of recognized talent. The care with which the poses of his characters are studied, the simple elegance with which their rich costumes are draped, denote a precision of drawing and a certainty of brushwork which are the hallmark of the true artist, a worthy student of Abel de Pujol; to these qualities, which are the fruit of observation, conscientious study and serious work.
Mr. Accard adds another merit, rarer perhaps, because he is rather a gift of nature that the result that a painter can obtain through meditation and perseverance, we want to talk about colour. Mr. Accard was born a colorist. He knows how to find on his palette the freshest and warmest tones at the same time, without being garish and harmonising with great happiness and skill; its velvets, its satins are of a brilliance and a truth which produces a complete illusion to the eye; it would be fabric if it wasn't paint. The scene from Molière that Mr. Accard has just recalled on canvas, will be a charming ornament in the gallery of an amateur or in the boudoir of a little mistress.”
