      It has a dynamic quality that only great painters , deft with their brush strokes can achieve . You can see in the highlights of her hair that it was one stroke and that's it. No fussing or going over it. Great painters dab at the canvas and put on exactly what they want, where they want it.

That had a big glass factory. In the late 1800’s it had a fire so items made there are expensive antiques now. My aunt worked as a docent at the museum for years. On the show they priced the holders very high BUT they were reproduced holders. My aunt knew they weren’t the real ones. The appraiser should have known that. But I still like the show.
