icons: 18th Century art

[olde_fashioned]

It has been seemingly a century since I've posted any icons, and even longer since any art ones. Thus, here I am to remedy that malady, with one of my favourite eras, and one of my favourite artists from that era. I simply love Boucher's paintings (though I recommend browsing his work with some caution, as he had a penchant for nudes).

These have been on my computer since before I moved, but "unpublished" if you will, except for the few I've been using in my userpics of late. A few duplicates in the way of one painting in multiple icons hopefully won't disappoint, and brownie points to anyone who can spot the painting used on one of my favourite fashion books! ;-D

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy!

Teasers:




Please, if you take anything, be so kind as to take note of the numbers of the icon(s) you're saving, since I am always experimenting with my styles and I would like to know what people like best. (This helps me so I can make more!) The numbers are above the icons.
