Love that this has cropped up (no pun here), as a friend and I have had a running Boldini vs. Sargent argument going on over beers for a while now, in part because here in NC, Biltmore Mansion has portraits of the Vanderbilt family by both artists.

Sargent is timeless, while Boldini is already nothing but a vapor.

Or in reference to Boldini, might I also suggest the shopworn but still serviceable term, "creepy" ?

So there.
