    The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts presents The Grand Tour: British and French Portraits from a Texas Collection, on view in the Main Gallery August 28 - December 19, 2010.

    The Grand Tour is 22 English, French, American and German portraits of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries from a private Texas collection, and includes the works of Anthony Van Dyck, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and William Bouguereau (whose The Elder Sister, 1869, is one of the best-known paintings at the MFAH).

    The exhibition traces the history of portraiture in France and Great Britain over three centuries, from the formal Grand Manner style of the court of Charles I in England and the French courts, to the smaller, more intimate portraits and figure studies of the mid to late 19th century.
