POTD: Happy Tired

Unknown woman
From 2022 12 25 Paris

"Picasso's grand work
Hangs over weary shoulders,
Palette of fatigue."

—h/t ChatGPT

Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris. People-watching is fun anywhere, but it's at its best in a great location. This young woman looks weary. Not even the painting by Picasso ("Grand nu à la draperie") on the wall behind her can attract her interest. Perhaps it's because she's at the end of a long day of touring museums, churches, and palaces. It's tiredness, but it's a happy tired. At least, that's how I felt at the end of our wonderful week in Paris. Next destination, New Zealand.
