Can you upload a picture? (Click "Post reply" below left and use the paperclip icon to upload an attachment.) Sounds fascinating and I love "Orientalist" style works.

It looks like "Zaporozhian Cossacks Writing a Letter to the Turkish Sultan" by Ilya Repin

Thank you Eirene, yourself amazed me more than once.
It's a good thing that we are here to congratulate and thank each other because I am affected by the amount of members somewhat lacking polish here, or those whose life seems to depend on the answer they implore for and finally never come back.

Well..deep one..to be fair...I personally believe that sometimes people post and don't bookmark where they posted and can't find their way back....well I hope so.

I am thankful for people like yourself...John..Hercules..the comic...etc. I have learned so much here. Turned on to art works I never knew. Isn't that what it is all about?
