The Getty have acquired two more works for their ever-expanding collection; 'The Pancake Maker' by Fragonard and a panel by Peter Hemmel.
Collections director Thomas Kren:
"These two acquisitions, which are so unlike one another in style and medium, reflect the Museum’s desire to see that each acquisition lifts up the collection as a whole and enhances our visitors’ experience of European art.”
Good effort, considering they bought this only a few weeks ago.
