Paris, city of cool stuff.

Just back from a lovely few days in Paris. Rachel and I managed to cram a lot in, from the crass commercialism of Versailles to the perfectly preserved medieval villages of Disneyland(the 'It's a Small World' ride is fantastic, like tumbling into a parallel world designed by Mary Blair ). We also took in the Musee D'Orsay and The Louvre, where, amongst the countless treasures, was this portrait of Charlie Brooker dressed as a nun:

'Why?' you may ask. Or indeed, 'how'? Given his love of 'Doctor Who' (which I'm really enjoying at the moment-I just hope the eventual answers are as compelling as all the questions and all this 'long game' plotting won't put off the casual viewer)maybe he went back in time and his portrait painted.
Erm, as a nun.

What is this paint called or which museum was it from? Any info would be great.
