Not really a fan of either one. Prud'hon.

Prud'hon, I guess

Prud'hon by far, and I enjoy both.

Prud-hon

Yeah, I prefer Prud'hon, with the bottom portrait being in my eyes the best of the lot.

4th round seems a little rich for their blood, but I'll go Prud'hon.

I agree with boonec that Fourth Round is going to be above somebody's station, and with Mrs. that the bottom Prud'hon is the best of the batch. But I guess I'll swing Poussin.

Poussin.

Poussin stages an impressive comeback, but it comes up short; Prud'hon takes it six votes to four.
