The Tiffanys hope to marry their daughter off to a French count, who. of course, turns out to be bogus; the Tiffanys' unprepossessing servant...
...current exhibition at Fogg reflects the interest and enthusiasm of Harvard undergraduates in the pursuit of quality. There are paintings here, as well as drawings and prints; there is also an occasional hint of the presence of parent collections amidst examples of more direct commitment and sacrifice. But, in any case, the element of choice and decision is present throughout...
