| For WMR: Hans Holbein's Jane Seymour (his famous picture of Anne of Cleves pretty much sealed her doom) |
 |
| Here she is, found by looking for the crowd. Reflection of annoying chandelier in most of the photos. |
 |
| Vermeer - my favourite. A View of Delft |
 |
| Detail of A View of Delft. Some careful detail, other parts rough and ill-defined, water and some boats painted using techniques the impressionists learned from. |
 |
| Last self-portrait of Rembrandt - Rougher technique than earlier- used his fingernails and back of brush for some of the detail. Part of beard not actually painted - used colour from backing. He was a pauper by then - out of favour with the mucky mucks. |

| The Goldfinch |

| Mauritshuis Royal Picture Gallery, originally a home built in 1644 for Count Maurits, military commander and governor of Dutch Colony in Brazil |
