I didn't vote for either of these artists last round! Rousseau.

I don't much like either of them. Rosetti.

Rossetti
Rousseau, though his paintings are only tolerable when he leaves people out of them. It's disloyal of me to vote against Rossetti, considering the loving attention he pays to jewelry, but his portraits are all kind of vapid.
I like Rousseau.
I don't love Rousseau, but I like and he certainly has a unique artistic voice. I have trouble finding anything I like Rossetti.
Rousseau
I'm really surprised to find myself so soft on the preRafaelites these days, but... Rossetti.
Susan votes for Rousseau by email.
Rossetti.
It doesn't get any closer than this without turning into a tie: H. Rousseau beats Rossetti by a single vote and advances to the Fourth Round! Rossetti will take on the winner of Ruisdael/Sanchez-Cotan over in the Left Bracket. And your vote will count!
