@Jo_Liptrott I think so. Random pic from a visit last summer.

@marianabrickman @johnlennon The drawings remind me a lot of James Thurber.

I've been obsessed by Enigmarelle since I read about him in Jan Bondeson's @forteantimes column.
He was a fake humanoid automaton, he was exhibited as a scientific and technical curiosity around 1905 in the US and Europe. He could write his name, cycle, and other things!

Interior of the farmhouse of Andrew Wyeth’s neighbours, the Olson family (Woodstove, 1962). One day, from the window of the small studio he maintained there, he saw the disabled Christina Olson crawling through a field, inspiring his classic Christina’s World (1948)

@ceofjohnlennon @johnlennon Slightly Japanese look to the decor. A hint of the future three years around the corner.

This beautifully-detailed 17C painting by Abraham Mignon is called Still Life with Fruit, Fish and a Nest, but for me this is a severe injustice to the frog, who is a highlight (NGA, Washington, 1675)
