    I love these talks. I really miss the Cocktails with a Curator series. And these talks are a lifeline.

    So many aspects of the painting that I would have never thought to consider if I looked at this piece by myself!!! Such a wonderfully brief yet in-depth closer look,,, I am so interested in this lady and want to learn more about her. So fascinating,,, and the speaker is so wonderful! Their word choice is impeccable and their voice pairs nicely with the painting. I am excited to see this painting in real life. Thumbs up!

    Beautiful painting! I'm interested that she shares multiple sir names with a certain novel protagonist... I wonder if her story or portraits served as inspiration for the writer.

    Poor thing married her grandfather, no wonder she took a lover, I don't blame her.

      Julianna: Grace married a man eighteen years older than her, at most he (barely) could have been her father. Let's not get carried away. 😁 Have a nice day.

      I think I get where you are coming from 😄 Having said that, the girl is pretty wooden and does not show any enthusiasm for the subject. A very mediocre performance if you compare it with the wonderful presentations of Aimee Ngo a couple of years ago. Have a nice day.
