Art And Beauty

Woman in the Window (Wife of a Treasurer). Vasily Tropinin, 1841

Let's take a beauty break and look at some treasures that have noting to do with products, #hashtags, commercial interests, promotions, or social media. Just art, beauty, and a fantasy:

Portrait of Agnes Macdonald Poynter by Sir Edward John Poynter (1866)

Cleopatra, John William Waterhouse, 1887

Frederico de Madrazo y Kuntz - Amalia de Llano y Dotres, Countess of Vilches, 1853

Lotte - Christian Schad, 1927

    I agree with Natalie about the first painting! lol I do like Cleopatra and the Countess of Vilches seems like quite the sweet young woman, despite having such a title as Countess.
