The other color and pattern in the portrait is distracting for me. <BR/><BR/>I saw Mona Lisa in person in Oct. 2006 and I was struck by how small the painting is; having always thought it must be large.

Regarding your question, the portrait that intrigues me the most is "Isidro"... I immediately thought, why is he posing so openly? He seems to be so comfortable with himself and with the artist painting him. He gives a sense of selfconfidence, at least to me.

I think also the one of Anne Churchill. Old paintings are amazing to study. Trying to figure out what that person was thinking, what type of life they lived etc.<BR/>I`ve been catching Dancing with the Stars a bit. It was mainly in waiting for the Bachelor to come on afterwards.
