Camel Rider - love it
 
I just wouldn't have a Rembrandt in the living room (apart from obvious rfeason, unable to afford!!) - too gloomy, too big, too old fashioned, so much in the painting to look at but not anything I want to look at in daily life. Though I do enjoy studying it - just don't want to live with it.
 
Camel Rider on the other hand is wonderful. (Partly because I used to live in the Sultanate of Oman ...) Mostly I love the style - the hazy background, the slightly impressionistic camels and riders (Rembrandt's almost looks like a photograph for accuracy and detail, in comparison). It's light and lovely. I could look at it all the time.
