Didn't notice the Paxton on my most recent trip to the Met but I was looking for it online just now. I couldn't find it anywhere, not even in a Google image search. The Met doesn't seem to have it or the Van Dyke you mentioned in their online collection either.

Do you know the name of the Raeburn portrait you were referring to? I stood in awe for a long time in front of a lovely little Raeburn portrait here in Seattle a couple of months ago.

I do remember being stopped in my tracks in front of the Princess Broglie portrait at the Met, mostly lamenting the fact that women don't wear such fun-to-paint clothing any more. I find Ingres' work cold and unapproachable though, however technically excellent it may be.
