The picture is on display at the Musee de Montmartre if you’re lucky enough to be heading to Paris any-time soon.

This picture is gorgeous. I love the colors. Someday, I’ll visit Paris. My kids love to visit museums so I won’t have to argue with them about going, lol. Thanks for sharing.

It’s an amazing picture isn’t it? I love finding new gems like this, especially something so unusual and unique. Btw, I’m totally jealous of your museum-loving kids 🙂
