This oil painting is even more beautiful than it appears in the catalog photo, if that is possible. While I was browsing through the catalog, not interested in purchasing a painting, this one leaped off the page and demanded, "buy me!" I'm so very glad I purchased it. It catches my eye every time I get near it. A dark background highlights a graceful figure dressed in beautiful pale blue and white, and its light just draws me. Lady Isabella appears so lifelike, she may just step out of the picture and into my living room!
