Part of a special exhibit of pastels seen while we were visiting the Musee d'Orsay, this beautiful portrait of a young girl and her dog by Louise Breslau really stood out in the room where it was on display.

 

This is my last painting from the Musee d'Orsay. Tomorrow I move on to yet another art museum, Musee de l'Orangerie, which offers a fabulous concentration of masterpieces from the Jean Walter and Paul Guillaume Collection. It starts in the Impressionist period and leads into Neo-Impressionism, featuring works by Monet, Cézanne, Renoir, Picasso, Rousseau, Matisse, Derain, Modigliani, Soutine, Utrillo and Laurencin.
