95 The moment d'intervalle, il travailla neanmoins de terns en terns. " Tf^Fe^e? When the summer drew on, Watteau, in restless misery, removed Galantes. From Paris to the lodging at Nogent which his friend the Abbe Harenger had obtained for him in the house of M. Le Febvre, "intendant des menus. " Here, he lingered awhile, then died, in Gersaint's arms, on July i8th, 1721. "Nous avons perdu ce pauvre Watteau, " writes Crozat to Rosalba (11 Aout, 1721) "qui a fini ses jours, l
...e pinceau a la main. "^ To the last he worked; to the last he was tormented by the desire of change, and was planning how he might return once again to his native Valen- ciennes, believing that there he might recover. The four " best friends " to whom he left his drawings : — Gersaint, de Julienne, the Abbe Harenger and M. Henin — buried him and paid his debts, sending his little fortune (9, ooolt. ) to the family at Valenciennes.
Tradition has dwelt persistently in telling Watteau's story on the peculiarities of a charafter troubled by constant pain which had rendered him " incommode " — ill to live with.
