Found on the "Victorian Web": Robert Browning's "Andrea del Sarto" (1855): Making Do with Less
Philip V. Allingham, Contributing Editor, Victorian Editor; Faculty of
Education, Lakehead University (Ontario)
"After the publication of this poem, it became the fashion for every
English lady holidaying in Florence to purchase a copy of Andrea Del
Sarto's cartoon-drawing of his wife, a sketch which would reveal a
power nearly equal to that of Michelangelo, but somehow softer and
more human, although not nearly so inspired."

I'm not sure how I post a picture on here. I have searched for the picture of del Santo's wife and this is what I have found!
