Today we went to the Frick Collection - the house of a steel magnate with an amazing art collection, which he bequeathed as a public museum on his death.

Both the house and art are amazing (if you've not been before then go next time you're in New York!)

My particular favourites were a Vermeer, a Holbein and a Rembrant.

Hans Holbein the Younger (c. 1498 — 1543)
Portrait of Sir Thomas More, 1527

Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606 - 1669)
Portrait of Nicolaes Ruts, 1636

 Johannes Vermeer (1632 - 1675) 
Officer and Laughing Girl, c. 1657

After the Frick we walked to central park for some ice skating. Here are some rather blurred pics of me showing off my skating skills.

And to round off a lovely day we met up with Jeremy for a seafood dinner at Mary's Fish Camp.
