Linda,

Go to the Sargent area in the American wing. This is at one end of a long corridor like gallery. At the other end is the Eakins area. About halfway down on the left hand side is the opportunity to experience a level of perfection rarely if ever approached by mere mortals. The Paxton is quiet and small and surrounded by larger more boldly painted works. It is easy to just pass it buy. Be careful to call and make sure that gallery is open because it is closed one or two days during the week. They rotate the guards. It's always open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Michele,

The lack of emotional attachment in Ingres paintings is a function of his disinterest not a lack of ability so I don
