The Details 919 was one that I could not find. I did find very similar images of the metal pot that the woman is balancing on her head. This was by Louis le Nain. I looked for Louis Le Nain on the web.
However, it was nowhere to be found. Today's newspaper tells me that the picture is in the V&A and a search in the V&A site finds the image quite easily.Tom Lubbock made an interesting claim for the image of the milkmaid, arguing that it should be widely known.
I am not sure, as I think the style of le Nain is a little wooden.
Well, last week's image (920) was a William Blake, and even though he has such a distinctive style, it was not so easy to find. It turned out to be Beatrice on the Car with Matilda and Dante.
This week's - 921 - is a seasonal one.
I think that the Christmas Details competition will be published on 20th December.
