Thank you so much for all the detailed images of this magnificent painting. In a normal 600x900 say, size image, none of the beautiful, finely-crafted details ever show. Again, thank you.

My pleasure...and thank you for your comment! This dress is so, so amazing; there are such wonderful monsters and other creatures. I would love to have seen this dress live!
