time… By the way, that’s drawn pretty well, almost like you.”

– And who drew that?

“This one, some Boucher – no idea.

The other one though Goya, looks like me, just the other way round.

And then, a bit farther back, crazy how many there’re still coming. Cranach is there and Rembrandt and Titian and Velasquez and Rubens, but why him actually?

And that one, that’s hilarious, look…”

– I know.

“But Goya is great, you can see right away that she liked him. The others – they’re OK I guess. All they did is simply draw pictures.”

– Yes, yes, just don’t move around so much.

“Yes, yes, I’ll stop. Will it take much longer?”

– Can’t you stand it any longer?

“No, no my dear, whatever do you mean, on the contrary, I didn’t even know that one can do it for so long… It’s even fun, really. I am better, right?”

“If you want I can come again tomorrow?”

– No, it’ll be better in a week.

“On Thursday?”

–Yes.

“Agreed.”
