Thank you very much for calling my attention to Fabritius's Goldfinch. I remember that myself bought a postcard of his self-portrait, which, alas, was not part of the show in De Young.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthewfelixsun.com" rel="nofollow">Matthew Felix Sun</a>Matthew Felix Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03347154808262264374noreply@blogger.com
