These men have devilish eyes!

I love the sidebar too and especially George Clausen (1852-1944) pastel portrait of young girl.

I escape in your blog and while I'm here everything's all right with the world.

You are so generous to do this for us. Thank you.

Very interesting! I read a book recently that references portraits like this, it's the second book in a series the first was called A Discovery of Witches and the second is Shadow of Night. Sir Walter Raleigh is in it too!
