In the background is a painting of the famous painter Courbet.

L'Rudolf,

Tres Bien!  You have captured the essence of Courbet's painting!  As you may know, the original "L'Orgine" did include the bodel's neck,face, and arms-----but that portion of the painting was "cropped" off.  Recently it was rediscovered (at least they believe so) and the model identified-----as the story goes.  I have my own "L'Origine" study which I took with my favorite model (Elle) about 15 years ago-----actually taken when on a trip to the countryside in France.

Great shot Rudolf!
