Fair ladies and unfair comparisons

Just a quick note to record that, despite its smaller size, I preferred "The Greats: Masterpieces From The National Galleries Of Scotland" at the AGNSW to the NGV's Hermitage exhibition. Seen in person at 1 x 1.25m, John Singer Sargent's "Lady Agnew Of Lochnaw" (1892-93) - http://www.jssgallery.org/paintings/lady_agnew.htm - is breathtaking. Of course, it helped my mood that I walked there in light rain, with an umbrella in my hand and vegie burgers in my belly.
