Dear Stuart, No you're right. I cannot see how it could possibly be genuine. And I thought I'd been pretty clear in the article, but maybe my lightly ironic tone doesn't make it across the pond. Best wishes, David At 17:08 + 24/11/15, WALSH STUART wrote: On 24/11/2015 15:36, David

The lute was exactly that - a symbol familial harmony, even in the hands of whores in Dutch paintings, where is was meant so - sarcastically. RT On 11/24/2015 9:38 AM, AJN wrote: There are paintings of the interiors of artists' studios that show props used in pictures: busts,
