Traveling Girl in New York

                         

Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' is the magnet of the special exhibition in The Frick Collection
in New York (through January 19, 2014).  She is sometimes called the Dutch Mona Lisa.

Cold winds and snow could not keep the waiting line short in front of the entrance. As soon as we entered the Frick's family mansion we were envelopped in the warmth of the house. Not only the Masterpieces of the Mauritshuis but the outstanding paintings and sculptures of the Frick collection
kept us inside for two hours.  Warmed inside and out we left for the MOMA.
