[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 350262, member: 2844"]I only know of the Rokeby Venus featuring in the UK movie "Venus", with the wonderful Peter O'Toole, but that has nothing to do with LA. As I looked for the movie, to check if my memory was correct (it was, in this case), I came across this documentary, also UK, but thought I would mention it: [URL]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0881747/[/URL] This is the original by Velazquez, by the way: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https:%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F5%2F5a%2FVelazquez_Diego_Venus_at_Her_Mirror.jpg&sp=4688c3c9618bd500cc0fddd013865c93[/IMG] Yours looks like a pretty good copy, better than most we see on the forum. But Velazquez was a master in painting silk and satin (and anything else). Very hard to copy that, you can see the difference with yours.[/QUOTE]
