So it a film about the girl in that famous painting.

I was always curious about a painting said to be painted by Johann Zoffany in 1779, which has a beautiful looking black girl which would be Dido and her white cousin Elizabeth, the only thing I knew about it was that I knew that the girl wasn't a slave.

If anyone can download that picture, I'd be grateful, I can't do it from here.

I don't suppose anyone has a copy of the movie version of the painting that in the film so I can compare them? because I can't find it online.
