Beautiful

Found these today while working on my thesis. I love the plaid ribbon on the women in the white dress above.  Very au courant, don’t you think? I like to think that these women would have been bloggers if they’d be alive today.

Up top is James Tissot, Young Women Looking at Japanese Objects (1866). Below is Monet’s Portrait of Madame Monet (1876).

   Oh yes, soooo beautiful! I think it looks like they are listening in on their sister’s conversation with their father! Yes, over something good like marrying a scoundrel, yes, yes I like it.

   These are beautiful! I think they look like they are trying to find a contact that one of them dropped, “I think I was looking this way.”
