    Paintings were the 19th century version of treadmills. They end up as things to hang your clothes on.

    I told him I would model today, but I’m not going to miss my stories. He’d better get here in a hurry.

    Waiting for a Loved One

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Joseph_Grips_-_Waiting_for_a_Loved_One_,_1894.jpg 

    (best viewed by Google Chrome which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this roughly C3 envelope size painting.

     

    https://www.erfgoedkloosterleven.nl/zoeken/collecties-zoeken.php?mivast=1212&mizig=214&miadt=1212&milang=nl&mizk_alle=C.J.%20Grips%20Henricus&mibj=1870&miej=1870&miview=ldt

    both have sparse Dutch info about this artist (again, Chrome can automatically translate), perhaps in addition to what’s indirectly pointed to by the first URL. Perhaps those who read Dutch or Belgian/French can find more (I couldn’t, that Chrome could automatically translate, even with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions/). This is the first work by him used here.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1949 (May 8, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

    A week? She’s further along than that! He’ll have to finish the painting from memory.
