Renoir's The Outskirts of Pont-Aven uses the same brush strokes 
he often uses to paint women's dresses.
Some guide books claim Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergere is the 
star of the Courtauld's collection.
Adam scratches his head in this painting of Adam and Eve by Lucas 
Cranach the Elder.  Those confusing women!  Why are men willing to do

In this Portrait of Queen Charlotte, Sir William Beechey does an 
excellent job capturing her expression.
