...pure black highlight. This picture rested on an altar, and when the priest said mass, he would be on the same level - and almost in the same space - as the waist-length donor figures at the foot of the cross. El Greco's portraits are simply presented: a pale central figure looks straight out from darkness. Jerónimo de Cevallos (ca. 1610) has an immense, casually sketched-in white ruff and sable-hued clothes. There's a possibility that the subject of A Lady in a Fur Wrap (late 1570s) may be Jerónima de las Cuevas...

People pranced on the beach ... they waded into the surf and tried to help her out. Gertrude Ederle pushed them aside. Smiling, she reached down, and felt the sand under her feet...
Petite, with pale skin and masses of blond hair, Zakrzewski could fairly be described as a diva and prima donna, rarely seeming to let down her stage image. “She adores the limelight and functions very, very well in lights of flamboyances,” says Zakrzewski’s mentor, Robinson Professor of Music Robert D.
