The portraits of the 1830S and early 1840S reveal a very different figure - slender, with a dandified dignity. Alan Walker has quoted a description of him written by Balzac's mistress in 1843:

Liszt is of medium height, thin, pale and drawn. He has the bilious complexion belonging to people of great talent and per- sonality. His features are regular. His forehead is less high than they show it in his portraits. He is furrowed with lines ... His eyes are glassy, but they light up under the effect of his wit and
sparkle like the facets of a cut diamond ... His best feature is the sweet curve of his mouth, which, when it smiles, makes heaven dream.

Was it Liszt that someone once described as "a sigh in dancing pumps"?

^ Bellini and not Liszt apparently.
