Would you believe that it is displayed in a hallway, as is the Sargent I mentioned? The lighting wasn't that great - that was my only frustration. Other paintings were shown in better light.

Kim - you will love this exhibit! Glad you're getting to Washington. I enjoyed the National Gallery too. I had no idea that Vermeer's famous paintings were so small (Woman with the red hat in particular). And the many Rembrandts there were awe-inspiring.

The Freer Museum has a lot of Whistler's and some of his contemporaries' paintings, like Thomas Dewey. Very nice.
