      Thanks for posting these.
      There is nothing to compare with the detail and expression of classical white art… nothing. Even photographs don’t capture much of the essence which the great Masters were able to extract from their models and backgrounds.

      I like those Empress Josephine dresses. That was a nice fashion trend for White ladies. The worst fashion trend was the Hillary Clinton pantsuit.

      Fragonard was a real master of his art. Apart from the beautiful rendition of grace and elegance of the two ladies, he has captured the eagerness of the dog and the self satisfaction of the cat. Quite amusing. Of course he is almost unsurpassed in his treatment of foliage.
