a time capsule, sent from my pal Robbie Pickering
An apartment in Paris sat locked and untouched for 70 years. Two years ago it was opened
after it’s owner died at 91. She left her home during WWII and fled to the south of France,
never to return. This painting was found there. It’s her grandmother, Marthe de Florian.
She was a socialite and an actress. It’s by Giovanni Boldini. She had been a muse of his.
