It was economical, supremely confident. Masterful. (I haven&#8217;t checked lately. Is it OK to say master, if you don&#8217;t say &#8220;old&#8221; first?) This painting reminds me of that work, in retrospect. The body is just sketched in. The wiry hair is preternaturally rendered without a lot of arduous specificity. Try doing that sometime, that hair.

You mistake the weave of the canvas for the weave of the sleeve, the paint is so insubstantial. I think maybe I&#8217;ll try doing nothing but studies. Oh, yeah, this is how it looks after the incredibly successful restoration a few years ago. (Somebody, please forward this to Cecilia Gimenez.) Anyway, Simon, I understood what you meant.
