Fine scene. Very well done.

Thank you very much

So much to see here, and beautifully put together. Well done. I like her expression, especially.

Tnak you very much. As I hesitated to place this beautiful model alone and inspired, I will dedicate a portrait to her in a second version.

Elle est très jolie cette artiste ! J'aime beaucoup cette scène

Merci beaucoup

So many deft touches here, from the artist mirroring the orphan , to the slob with the phone (one of my pet hates in galleries...people photographing paintings rather than LOOKING at them). Also the choice of the orientalist paintings on the wall... The orphan on the easel looks aghast at the cultural mis-appropriation and stereotyping those works, for all their technical excellence, represent (a topic close to my heart given my heritage)... one of your best, I think!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Joe, I am honored by your careful reading of the intentions that I place in my images.

Aime-t-on ce qui nous ressemble où ce qui nous est étranger et nous dérange? Question que je me suis souvent posée! Quant au photographe, ce gros lourdaud, tu sais ce que j'en pense!

Je partage ta question avec le même intérêt. Quand au photographe, j'ai hésité à le placer ou pas, disons que la 2ème version que j'ai postée rappelle l'intensité de concentration du personnage dans les tableaux de Vermeer, tandis que celle-ci n'est pas sans évoquer la causticité des scènes de genre de Jan Steen. :)

Merci pour ce beau partage Marco !!

Merci beaucoup Monique
