The Met


This year is the 150th anniversary of The Met.  

They are planning on having a big celebration.  

It was supposed to start the end of March.  

But like everything else it is currently on hold while we wait out COVID-19 at home.  

But eventually it will happen.  In the meantime I did take a quick visit at the beginning of March before it closed.  

The drawing gallery - always one of my favorites - did not disappoint.  

Of course my eye was immediately drawn to this sweet little Rembrandt etching.  Sigh.  

But I also loved these modern motifs 

and this Celtic looking drawing.  

But hands down the biggest surprise and delight was this silhouette portrait of George Washington done by Eleanor Custis, his adopted daughter.  

Can't wait to see what they have in store when they reopen.

Other Met blogs...





Cheers!
