Late to the Louvre

The Louvre is open late on Wednesdays and Fridays.  Mum and I spent a couple of hours yesterday evening with the French painters.  I had a marvellous picture with her in the Richelieu passage, with the glass pyramid in the background; but unfortunately they don't seem to make tripods for telephones and I couldn't hold it sufficiently still for the light conditions.

I did take a bunch of dog pictures for my friend J, as is my habit.  Dogs mostly appear under banquet tables, in ladies' portraits, sometimes hunting, and - for some reason - under the bed in deathbed scenes.


This painting by Chardin is one of the few in which a dog appears as a central subject
