Sunday we spent the day at The Frick Museum (The Frick Collection) on 5th Avenue, Manhattan.....
We had tickets....the last day of the exhibit....to the Dutch Masters, with the Dutch Mona Lisa, the Girl With a Pearl Earring as the central attraction.
Getting in, with timed tickets, still required long lines in below freezing temperatures.
Where's that Global Warming when you need it?
Well worth the wait and the cold....I look good in blue.

Interesting side note....experts claim that it couldn't have been a pearl of that size, and was either a glass bead painted to look like one, or simply an imaginary one painted in by Vermeer.
My favs were the Rembrandts and the van Eycks.
Any see the exhibit when it was in D.C. or San Francisco?
