A watch & a painting
Since this is my 20k post, I wanted to make it a little special.
So here is my Cornes de Vache with an encaustic painting by a dear friend. She is an illustrator and painter.
The painting is inspired by Rembrandt's Portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels, his housekeeper with whom he fell in love and with whom he had a daughter, Cornelia, in 1654.
I felt that the colours of the watch matched those of the painting perfectly.
I take this opportunity to say, once again, that I am honored and happy to be part of this community and to thank you all for making this site this special place where we can joyfully share our passion.
Here is the Portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels (probably 1654-6 - dimensions 101.9 × 83.7 cm) by Rembrandt Van Rijn (1606 - 1669)
It is on display at the National Gallery in London.
