    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    That's what it looks like to me, too.

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    Agreed.
    But isn't Poirot a more common French name? That "e" COULD be an "o"...

    If the second letter is an o then perhaps not...

    The picture is rather charming, but the frame isn't helping it. It's an absolutely perfectly chosen surround to compliment the colors - which makes it look as if a decorator was matching it to the sofa. :(

    Incidentally, Paul Poiret was an internationally famous clothing designer during the first part of the last century.

    Not necessarily-- but see if he has any artistic relatives.
