Love those blue-purple shadows, which are surprisingly gray but just "sing" with all that yellow-orange around them. Anyways, I'm in love!S.

I've spent a fair amount of time in front of it--really a beauty. In the same room is Gerome's "Rug Merchants of Cairo," one of his best. I've spent a LOT of time in front of that one..........jeff jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996337570175075303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-702275548078027092014-01-06T12:23:07.520-05:002014-01-06T12:23:07.520-05:00I wonder if Darren (or you) know if the oil painti...I wonder if Darren (or you) know if the oil painting is much larger than the watercolor which seems remarkably small. If so, I'd guess that the watercolor is a study for the oil.
