As a painter I find these works impressive, in fact so much I wish to know their method of achievement, with every painter’s system unique.

Thanks for your communications. I find Franz and Hermann Winterhalter paintings the same level as Hubert Drouais, Vigilius Eriksen, Rembrandt, and Baptist Lampi.
