Painted in 1559 of Lady Dacre (Mary Neville) and her son - It's rare to see a woman placed at the left-hand side of the painting. Traditionally reserved for the males authority. In the chinese saying, 男左女右。On the other hand, I was thinking that they are standing in the traditionally positions but just did not take into account that it'll be the other way round on the portrait! LOL - STUPID!
The Tudors. I could spend the whole day in the London National Gallery and read every single portrait. Especially the Tudors section. Absolutely adore their fashion and style. Each portrait had their own story, each person in the portrait had a different destiny.
The one I'm showing you today is one the recent jewels of the National Gallery in London, acquired for £997,500. Quoting from Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery, "It is a great acquisition for the nation."

Cammy, haha... I know. But it's a good way to help me write properly. Think logically, review what I know and what I have read. It's a good way to revise and prepare early for everything! Don't you think? But sure, I'll not forget to post some photos too. Don't worry ha, stay tuned as I have alot of photos coming up.
