That would be Otto Dix's portrait of Sylvia von Harden. I don't like choosing paintings so next person can take my turn. Eventually I'll have to post one again, eh?

This may be super obvious to some of our bibliophiles and Lokasenna has an unfair advantage, but I'm putting up anyway. I have an unrequited desire to hold this manuscript some day.
Ahhh! I know what the painting is I just don't know the name or anything. It's Marco Polo in Venice. I'm not sure what it is. :/
It is an anonymous miniature painting called Marco Polo Leaving Venice.

On the other hand I spent almost 2 days in National Gallery and would go there again and again then when I will be shoppingggg? :confused5:
Yeah, yeah…I kicked myself soon after I posted it. As I read further about Burchfield in my copy of “American Drawings and Watercolors”; The Museum of Art, Carnegie Institute, I saw that he was a local boy (to you). I knew the jig was up!Quote:
