At the University of Louisville there is a museum that has an oil painting by
Paolo Veranese dated l574.  Last May I saw it and was inspired to write a poem.
The painting is titled:  "Portrait of a Young Woman."  The painting is unusual
as the woman is holding a skull in her left hand and to her right on a small
table there is an open book.  The curator's note says the young woman
is a writer and the skull is a symbol of her vanity and mortality.  My
question is this:
Could you please find a reproduction of that painting for me?
