Penelope, Charles-François Marchal
In the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A wonderful eye for the textures of the fabrics and the yarn.

Another tasty treat! I like it! Thanks! . . . But, I do get a slight sensation that the head is done by one person and the rest of the painting by someone else . . . in another more recent period! :) It creates another layer of interest.
The fabrics are incredible.
Is there a link with Édouard Manet’s Anna, except the larger mirror?
Sorry, I meant Nana.
