As a child, my favorite artwork in our home was a print of Cornelis Bisschop's "Woman Peeling Apples," 1670. Second favorite was Lawrence's "Pinkie," 1794. The pretty picture of Pinkie hasn't withstood the test of time for me. The beauty of "Woman Peeling Apples" -- timeless.

18th-century style: in 1794 the royal family went to where a typical day was: morning walking on the esplanade, back to read for 3 hours, dinner, more reading, back onto the esplanade where we 'met those we saw in the morning'
