Definitely some jewels in that presentation! There is only one that I know I've seen (but didn't know the artist). I'll bet that you would know which one.

Thanks for sharing!

The eyes remind me of the old portrait photos – the ones that took minutes to expose – the eyes look pale and blurry because the subject's eyelids blinked and were caught on the film. (Or tintype or whatever.)
