[Milton-L] Re: Trying to Identify a Painting

[HANNIBAL HAMLIN]

Peter,

The one I know (and like) best is in the NY Public Library, by Mihaly Munkascy

http://www.artunframed.com/images/Monet55/munkacsy109.jpg

but there also seems to be a painting on the same subject by Eugene Delacroix (not sure where it is)

All the best,

Hannibal
