Thanks, and the same to you.
As to the Ga...Bill,<br /><br />Thanks, and the same to you. <br /><br />As to the Gauguin watercolour, it's a copy the artist made of an earlier oil painting (now in the Hermitage I believe); in various places where its been shown it's been given variant titles, usually either The Queen of Beauty or the Noble Queen. I followed the former as it's more commonly used. Some places use both. As, e.g., <a href="http://www.themorgan.org/collections/collections.asp?id=244" rel="nofollow">The Morgan</a>.<br /><br />What's of interest to me in the post, as almost always, is the relation between the images and the text. Perhaps a bit unexpected in this case. I did hope so, at any rate.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-19492037274463260672012-12-24T21:09:46.402-08:002012-12-24T21:09:46.402-08:00Belated season's greetings, Tom....
