Bird Feeder, Boston, 1915 (Detail) via Shorpy
I love her. I want to be her friend!
Edit: This looks like the metro station on Boston Common near the old State House. I used to work in Boston, but not in this area so I don’t know it well. Anyone recognize where she is?
Miss Benwell by John Hoppner, 1790.
Gorgeous, gorgeous portrait!
oldrags: 1825 Jacques Louis David (French 1748-1825) ~ Portrait de Juliette de Villeneuve; Louvre
I may have reblogged this one before, but I just can’t remember. It’s worth another look because of the fabulous huuuuuuge bonnet on the chair. What is really special is that you can see the lining of the bonnet. A rarity!
