The Infinite Art Tournament Left Bracket Third-Round Elimination: Sisley v. van Ruisdael!

Jacob van Ruisdael lost his first Tournament contest to Rachel Ruysch, but he didn't throw down his paintbrushes; he's won four in a row to make it to Third Round Elimination. He'll face a challenge here against Alfred Sisley, however, who has struggled through to a 4-1-1 record of his own, with his most recent win coming against -- wait for it! -- Rachel Ruysch. Does that mean Sisley will win? OF COURSE IT DOESN'T!!! We have to find out! That's why we vote!

Leaving us this week with excellent 2-2 records are Ruysch (19 vf, 23 va, .452) and Dante Gabriel Rossetti (24-21, .533).
