I do rather like that.TJ (a bit)
Can anyone with a knowledge of art help me out? I've been trying to identify a painting, and can't remember what it is or by whom.
It's impressionist, and shows a (Russian? French?) nobleman crossing the street with his daughters. He's wearing a top hat. What's notable about it is that he's leaving the frame: the artist has deliberately set out to make his oil-painting look something like a photorealistic scene (give or take).
It's hanging in the Hermitage in St Petersburg at the moment, but I think it's French. Any ideas?
Thanks

Your reward for the effort awaits in Heaven. Possibly.
