This gorgeous, lush painting by Italian artist Giovanni Boldini lives in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It is one of my most favorite paintings and I visit it any time I step foot inside the museum. I love the saturated colors, the loving and relaxed expression on the faces of the Duchess and her young son, and "the swish" - the name Boldini's flowing technique was given. It is a beautiful piece that I could stare at for hours.
