It is a historical reference. I can see how it could be confusing.&nbsp; Sorry you do not like it..</p><p><br /></p><p>The artist could well have painted the ladies first and background a little later, or he could have had his little work station set up on the bridge. If the ladies were painted prior, he would have painted the background within a reasonably short period of time there after. The estimate for dating is just fine..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
