Little Girl in a Red Dress with Cat and Dog door Nicholas B. A. Nicholson
Quite a charmer. A reasonable guess about what kind of family the painter Ammi Phillips met in New York when he painted this particular portrait. Historical note included. Both history and art come alive. Might be too quiet for some folk, but as another GR reviewer says, it does appeal to at least one 3 year old child.
descendent of displaced russian nobility working at an auction house in New York. Finds forgery of an important "discovery" though how exactly purprine was reproduced is never said. The "new" Moscow of new rich.
Distasteful feature: not one word about what a nasty bunch the Russian nobility was prior to the Revolution. Not that Stalin as any improvement, but the Revolution didn't fall from the sky either. Still, overall an entertaining read. Basically likeable characters, if not quite believable.… (meer)
