Woman With An Rodent?

Lady with an ermine

Did you know that Leonardo da Vinci got a job his worthwhile, when the Duke of Milan wanted a painting of his Mistress but as she was an unhappy patron, Leonardo spent more time and effort on the face of the mammal rather than the mistress.

What do you think about this?

Technically speaking, an ermine is a mustelid not a rodent.

I find it amusing when I hear these little anecdotes about the old masters covertly passive aggressive actions against their patrons. A clever way to stick it to the man, and still earn some bread.

I would never have noticed, but she does look rather bland compared to the ermine. Still It all seemed to come out alright. I would not be insulted if I were the lady.

Carlton...maybe you already know this and don't care but you won't show up in the FAA search w/o a profile picture.
