Paris, France – Anyone who read The Tsarina’s Lost Treasure knows that the Dropsical Woman – masterpiece by Gerrit Dou – used to hang in the Louvre in the Salon Carré alongside the Mona Lisa. Now, the Dropsical Woman is back with the rest of the Dutch collection.
Also on display: the painted chassis (doors that viewers opened to reveal the painting).
Besides the Dropsical Woman, the Louvre has quite a collection! This is the best collection of Dou paintings we have seen in one place – even better than the Rijksmuseum. My co-author was in heaven.
And the twin-agers? They humored us for a while. Then they went off to explore the Louvre on their own, and V got lost. Then they speed-ran the Egyptian collection. And then V declared that art is overrated. So, yeah.
