ooohhh....

i bet it is a painting of her husband
but
then
there is a secret catch which springs
open
to show
a painting of her lover
hidden underneath...

Oh, love the thought that there's another portrait hidden beneath the husband's! Melanie, you are just as elegant and romantic as any 18th century woman, but thanks to modern conveniences like regular showers and deodorant, you SMELL much more elegant, too! :-)
