  1. 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.

  2. The fabrics are incredible.

  3. Is there a link with Édouard Manet’s Anna, except the larger mirror?
