Two famous paintings

My friend Jean showed The Blue Boy on Facebook, and there was a comment by someone else who said she'd grown up with that famous painting and Pinkie.  I grew up with both of those paintings, too.  They were in the living room of the house on Fifth Avenue (where I lived until I was almost nine) and had been there since the house had belonged to my grandmother.  I hadn't thought of these two paintings in years.  By the way, Pinkie was painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence in 1794, and The Blue Boy was painted by Thomas Gainsborough around 1770.
