If you go to the Huntington, be sure to take a list of "must see" items and be ruthless in walking past art on not on the list. There are simply too many great portraits there! In my first three trips to the Huntington, I haven't made it to see this picture--exhaustion sets in from trying to see all of the art and all of the gardens. When, I finally did make it, I wished I had sooner!
