This is super. Both from an art & information perspective - love the data on the works. Admittedly, I also have to admit I love the way he paints hats & jewelry. Sumptuous and awesome!

I could recommend watching these images while listening to 'He He Loved Him Madly' by Miles Davis.

He was a big fan of Lucretia wasn't he?
What's going on here? They have the same description for different pictures. She pulls the end of her veil across her body with her left hand. It is however so transparent that it does not hide her vulva – That fits 1 but not 2.
