In La Clairvoyance Rene Magritte portrays himself painting a bird. Not only is he painting a picture of a bird, he is using an unhatched egg as his point of reference. Magritte is painting the possibility, potential, the future.

Magritte is clairvoyant, he conveys the future through his art. Magritte is staking his claim and sharing his philosophy, much like many of his surrealist contemporaries did regularly (i.e.Joan Miro, and Salvador Dali).

Magritte is bold enough to use his painting to engage in a dialogue with his viewers.

Painting: Władysław Bakałowicz (Polish, 1833-1904) • Protrait of Józefiny z Gumowskich-Amszyńskiej • 1911

Playing Dress Match-up: a painted dress and its exact dress or a close match.

Dress: American (attr.) • c. 1880s • White silk faille & satin • Fitted cuirass-style bodice • 3/4 sleeve • Satin swag over hips • Semi-attached skirt with band of pleated and swagged satin across middle • Hem with pleated faille trimmed with satin • Long asymmetrical waterfall bustle and train • Kent State University Museum website.

It's not the exact dress but the closest match I could find.
