The painting that this man is looking closely at is by Toulouse-Lautrec, titled 'Portrait of Jeanne Wenz'. It's one of my favorite portraits in the Art Institute of Chicago and I think it's the grayish palette that draws me in, as well as the strict side profile. The majority of people walk by it without a glance - I don't get that - but they're usually on their way to more recognized works of art.

Have you ever considered doing a video demo of a painting. Drool! :)
I love these gallery paintings. They are so masterfully painted. The work of art within a work of art has always intrigued me.
Did you once make a video where you painted from left to right?
I like the colors on this work. If he stands like that for the whole painting he will have a very sore lower back.
love how your style in this piece mirrors Toulouse-Lautrec's. wonderful!!!
Lovely, Karin. And your titles are always so witty!
