I was amazed to see that Degas of the Belleli family as I just saw it in Melbourne last month- they had a big Degas exhibition on, but I just checked and that exhibition closed 10 days before this one started, and they must have got the painting back to Paris pretty quickly to be part of this exhibition. If only I could be in Paris to see it again... I meant to post about the Degas exhibition (which was fab) but am so far behind. I'm enjoying catching up with all the PB action.

Yes, the little girl has tucked her other leg under herself as she posed.<br /><br />I'm curious to see more photos of Eugenie and will see how M.
