I have no idea who is the author of this painting in Château de Chenonceau but I think the sobriety of the woman’s watchful eyes, slight smile, white ruff and black surround juxtaposed with the sumptuous wallpaper and gilded door is very effective.
Je n’ai aucune idée de l’auteur de cette toile au château de Chenonceau mais je trouve frappante la juxtaposition de la femme avec ses yeux attentifs, son petit sourire, sa fraise blanche, le fond noir du tableau, la tenture murale somptueuse et la porte dorée.

She smiles in a way that suggests she knows something you don’t.
I agree with you, William. I thought that as well.
