"And just phor the phun of it" I would like to comment on a phew of themm.

Alexandre Charles Emmanuel de Crussol-Florensac 1787: He has got a sophisticated, arrogant look that could be taken for intelligence or even good manners, at least nobility.

The light on the head is more convincing than the modeling of the body. The color scheme is cool and quite pleasing.

Hubert Robert 1788: A rural type painter though a bit unfocused. I think that his bandanna is in the center of the golden means. It might justify the sumptuousness of the garment, that is, otherwise, uninteresting. Good volume in the body.

The bather (daughter Julie) 1792: This is obviously a detail of a larger canvas so it is difficult to talk about anything golden.

About the shape of the body, I find it hard to acknowledge the structure of it, it feels like the shoulder is further away than the legs, just like she don't have hips, and what about the fold of the fabric by the elbow?

Self 1790: Now that this is a topic about composition I would like to emphasize the merging of lines that happens with the collar and the hand pointing. I also have problems with the hair that tangents the upper edge of the painting.

Otherwice I am positive.
