Museums should be applauded when they focus on masterworks in their permanent collections. Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum owns many icons, among them the Victorian academician Frederic Leighton's wistful portrait, Miss May (c. 1860). In this colorful 88-page paperback, KAM deputy director Malcolm Warner applies his new research to examine the picture from every possible angle, especially as an expression of the artist's friendship with May's mother, the opera singer Adelaide Sartoris. Published by Yale University Press, the book is available for only $16.95.
