La Penserosa, 1856, by Hiram Powers, who apparently was the most widely known American sculptor in the mid-19th C. Newz to me! [At the High on Val-Day.]
How could I forget to mention that when out foraging the other day, at Star Provisions we saw among their lovely displays a chunk of imported Kobe beef for a mere $128 per pound. Plus sales tax. We left it languishing in the cooler.
