Thank you Stephen for an exquisite selection of paintings. So much gorgeous drapery and perfectly coiffed curls to gaze upon - the Anton Von Maron is perfection! For me, it's curious to see a painting of 'the original celebrity' Kitty Fisher, who lived and passed so close to where I grew up around Tunbridge Wells and Rye - something about the goldfish bowl caught my attention. An honourable shout-out to François-Xavier Fabre's wife, bless her, wart and all, who seems so contemporary and relatable somehow.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sophie! So glad you enjoyed this little group.
