Jan Davidsz de Heem, to be sure. I do love me some still lifes (lives?), and that last one with the boy and the pensive lion is just great.

ReplyDeleteDe Heem for me. Laurencin is just neither here nor there, know what I mean? No? Well, that's OK.

ReplyDeleteby email, Susan says "de Heem (never liked Laurencin -- too pallid)." I like "pallid."
ReplyDeleteSo, this one ends with de Heem on top, 8 to 5. The tie is broken!
