Thanks, I have always thought that this work was clever and a neat design in the way the child's head is next to the dark area and the grown-up is implied only.

I was able to get a hold of a rare copy of Beaux's autobiography, "Background with Figures" that is a real insight into her life and work. She's in my top 3 favorite painters.

Cecilia Beaux Shopping
 
After a little bit of research I was able to obtain a copy of 'Backgrounds with Figures, Autobiography of Cecilia Beaux' and 'Cecilia Beaux: A Book of Early Drawings', the last being a portfolio that was published soon after her death in 1942 which contains 32 plates. It is sketches from her early Paris days. Now the next few days will be spent in the living room with my nose pressed to the window awaiting for my packages of goodies. You can go to www.abebooks.com or www.choosebooks.com for all your rare or out of print book needs.

Vermeer is about the only well know painter that produced just a few paintings.
Leonardo is another.
