Great Senryu, Raúl! I never saw the original, but lots and lots of reproductions. If the secrets about this painting will be kept forever? Muchas gracias por tus comentarios y un muy feliz ano nuevo!...Gert

The smile was about what? Was it just her nature? Or was it the fact that it was the painter's face being a chameleon in the oil? Neat Senryu. Much thought and effort went into the write. Sara

You describe this painting so well, I have often wondered what lay behind that sly smile.
