Question
I think I've liked everything I've ever seen by Paxton. I'm often surprised that the originals are smaller than I would have thought from the image - like Gerome in that.
I have long been curious about some vanishing points in "The Necklace." If the chest on the right is correct and I think it matches most things in the room, then how do I understand the angle of the top of the screen (far right end)nearest to the figures? Also, the angles of the top of the glass case on (top of the chest) seem wrong, too.
I still like the work, but everytime I look at the piece those things catch my attention, they feel incorrect. Does anyone agree or have an answer to explain this?
