GRACIAS – CHEERS
I love the painting of a richly-dressed Cardinal, in a scarlet silk gown, sitting in the grand salon. The cardinal appears to have just written a letter and addressed it, and is now contemplating the effect it will have when opened and read by the recipient. Simply superb! Cheers, Aiva xx
