A couple of observations (seriously), The Paxton is indeed very good. Now, those last two posted portraits rather look alike huh? This era produced paintings with great surfaces and depth and light and form, but sometimes the compositions were less than exciting or even new.
Lawrence was sweet, Renoir with more finish? I have problems with the area between the girls faces. The dark is a confusing shape at the profile where it slides into other girl's clothes. I sense he meant the near girl to be looking at her sister but the eyes don't focus. I mean no offense to any fans out there.
