Thank you, Eric! I also had a great time with you! I invite you both to my other tour at the Getty Villa, where I tell you fascinating stories about life and relationships in ancient times! :)

I am so glad you liked my tour, Antoinette! It is always a pleasure to share background stories, and make paintings speak to you! Hope to see you again at the Getty Villa - a cradle of the Getty Museum.
