Thank you for posting this lovely painting @kathleenscarboro.
The expressions on the girls faces as well as the detail are captivating...well done.
Appreciate hearing Ingres is an inspiration......the Louvre has a fine collection of his work.......his work there is on a very large scale.
Wishing you a lovely weekend. ^__^
A bientot.
Thank you @bentleycapital; yes the Louvre has quite a few works and I was lucky years ago to visit the museum dedicated to his work in Montauban.
