Looking At The Paintings At The Hermitage

So much to see. Sometimes it feels as if the paintings are looking at you.

Pondering Rembrandt. Or Rembrandt pondering?

Enjoying the details. Especially the mastery of satin by Gerard ted Borch.

And the gazes.

Pensive portraits. On the left, Andre Derain, Girl In Black, 1913.

Taking time to see the goat.
