Pisanello (Italian; 1st half of the 15th century) had the ability to portray the high elegance of his time with grace and clarity. Look at this, for example: I could call it a study of a dog's head with collar/muzzle, every rivet and stitch there on the headpiece to copy if we wanted to make another. I choose to call it a portrait instead (and yes, that's a woman's portrait visible from the other side), for Pisanello has caught the creature's resigned head tilt, the eye beginning to droop closed: why do I have to stand here? why do I have to have this muzzle on?

Hi Laura, -- according to Wikimedia, this drawing is at the Louvre. (Where it probably isn't up where we could see it, anyway...sigh.)
I found your blog on Monday and started to follow your posts frequently. I have not commented on any weblog just yet however I was thinking I'd love to. It's totally thrilling to truly contribute to an article even if it is solely a blog. I actually don't know precisely what to write down other than I genuinely loved reading three of the posts. Good posts indeed. I sure will maintain visiting your weblog weekly. I discovered quite a bit from you. Thanks a bunch!
