Etty, Liotard, Chase, Canaletto.
Well let's see... Holbein of course... Cool Liotard and warm Rousseau... And I'll stick with Chase for now.
Except, you know what? I really want to emphasize Holbein here, so I'll do that by the mechanism of voting for him, and without malice against Etty, Boudin, and Canaletto. Same slate, different weight.
Rousseau, Holbein, Chase, Boudin
Vote against Etty. Vote for Rousseau, Boudin, and Chase.
Chase, Boudin, Holbein, and Liotard.
Rousseau, Boudin, and Canaletto.
Vote for Holbein, and against Etty. Everybody else is just fine.
Boudin, Holbein, Chase & Canaletto, says Susan.
Liotard, Holbein, Chase.
