Dramatic Checkout Picture...

No more dog show nonsense, something lovely instead. I thought I'd posted it back when Tam brought up the subject. Here's my nominee for the most dramatic checkout picture ever, Copley's "Death of Major Pierson". Click on the picture for full screen size:

One of the things that make this Copley painting a great one,other than his painterly technique, is to note that each character has a different expression on his face and a differing reaction to the events at hand. Copley was no lazy painter!
