Valentine's Day outfit, compliments of Grammy
Smiling
Did you eat some sour hearts?On Thursdays the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has free admission; so on Valentine's Day Grammy and the three of us went for a visit. They had a special exhibition and the subject of the first picture that greeted us when we entered the gallery was Clara, a rhinoceros.
Jean-Baptiste Oudry, Rhinoceros, 1749
The painter was primarily known for still-life pictures, but did paintings of the menagerie at Versailles. This one has not been seen in public for 150 years.
Needless to say, this is not Clara's namesake!
