Art

Rachel Goldberg, a rich tourist, went to Paris to see the art galleries. She hired the services of a guide to show her around the Orsay Museum.
"Oh!" said Rachel, looking at a painting. "That's a Monet isn't it?"
"No Madame, it's a Manet," replied the guide.
"And that one, it's a Pissaro!"
"Er... no... I'm sorry, Madame, that's a Monet."
"Oh, I see. Now that one that's a Picasso."
".... No, Madame, that's a mirror."
