  1. 7 of 10 which is bad considering my career path, etc… I’m kicking myself for missing the Manet. I actually did lighting for the Girl With a Pearl Earring when it was in San Francisco.
    Good quiz and challenging. Cheers!
    Oh, I also missed Washington Crossing the Delaware – I have no excuse but also had no idea. Oh well …

    • Hard lines! The “Waashington” painting is interesting – painted by a German who had never seen the Delaware, which is why it looks more like the Rhine!
