Masterpieces revisited: "Lady Louisa" ...proposed new title: "It's too hot today...(and sorry, Constable)

Masterpieces revisited: "Signora in rosa" (forgive me, Giovanni Boldini)

Masterpieces revisited: "Femme à l’ombrelle tournée vers la gauche" (forgive me, Monet)

...but if the girl in the background of "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" joins the company? (just a joke, huh...)

Masterpieces revisited: "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" (quite "faithful", but sorry, Manet)

Masterpieces revisited: " A Woman Bathing in a Stream" (forgive me, Rembrandt)

Masterpieces revisited: "Pornokratès" (forgive me, Félicien Rops)

Masterpieces revisited: "La Princesse de Broglie" (forgive me, Ingres)

Masterpieces revisited: "La Toilette" (forgive me, Louise Catherine Breslau)
