Francis, Carpaccio, Canaletto, Daubigny. (I'm beginning to think that Canaletto and Daubigny had their original tournament placement somewhat affected by seeding!)

Daubigny, Francis, and Canaletto.

It's nice to have the Ladder back in action. I like everybody, but I like Perugino and Hobein best.
I'll take Copely. That look on that little kid's face by the chair. What's she up to? She's about to do an upper decker on a toilet. But it would be before those times. She's going to burn something. Something naughty for sure and the guy captured it beautifully.
Holbein, Perugino, Copley.
