How brilliant is that?
Sarah managed to find it online. It's called Le Discret and was painted circa 1790 by the French portrait painter Joseph Ducreux (1735–1802). He worked in the court of Louis XVI and also after the French Revolution.
His less formal works are wonderful. They seem so modern and have apparently been exploited for various internet memes that seem to have passed me by.
I'm definitely a fan.

It's a nice piece.
And Threads was much more powerful than The Day After.
That begs to be the cover of a book.
Alex, agreed.
Tony, reason enough to write one.
