Berthe Morisot and the Master of Moulins have made it to Third Round Elimination, and things might be looking a little tough for Morisot since she was beaten by Gustave Moreau back in '15 and The Master is fresh off of a victory over him. But, as followers of sport and art know, that doesn't necessarily guarantee that Mr. of Moulins will win this next match. Only your votes can decide that.
Moreau left us with a 2-2 record, 19 votes for and 25 against. Losing to Morisot by a single vote was Alphonse Mucha, who went 2-2, 22-24.

Morisot is pretty fine, but it's hard to beat the Master.
The Master for sure.
I've got to go with The Master here as well
The Master of Moulins for me, too.
Susan goes with Morisot
Master.
The Master loses by five votes to six, which is a pretty good after a zero-five start. But, alas, it's not good enough to stay in the Tournament, so it's Ms. Morisot who moves on to compete against Pannini in the Fourth! Coming next Tuesday!
