Collecting Portraits
You might remember a few months ago I did a post on the amazing store Jux.ta.po.si.tion while visiting the Newport Coast in Southern California. After seeing this wonderful display I began collecting portraits. This is my most recent find. I figured he was a historical figure but I wasn't sure exactly who he was until... I came across this page in this month's Elle Decor Magazine. The original Juan de Pareja (1650) Mine Now I know who he is and that he was painted by Diego Velasquez . I think whoever painted it did a great job, don't you? Do you collect portraits?
