Gentle Hand

I love this sweet young hand gently restraining this dog. Is is a roman statue from the Cleveland Museum, and perfectly lit and beautiful.

    1. You are absolutely correct, and thanks for taking the time to point out my error. The sculptor is italian, but the subject is french.

      Portrait of Napoléone Elisa Baciocchi, Niece of Napoleon I, 1810-1812 by Lorenzo Bartolini (Italian, 1777-1850)
