It's Saturday, and that means the theme is people. And in this picture, you get a bonus, three (and a half) people in one -- the painter and the Madonna and infant he's painting (plus part of a woman in another painting...well, plus the portraits and bust behind him, and the knee of a goddess in a niche on the wall...needless to say, this fits the theme).
I took this photograph in March or April of last year, in the Louvre in Paris. I was quite interested in the people who came to paint their own versions of the masterpieces on display in the museum, and by the chain created when I took a picture of them creating a picture of this other famous picture... At one point I got my friend to sketch this particular artist, and I tried to take a picture of her, him, and the original masterpiece all in one, but it didn't turn out well. So I'll stick with this one.
