John William Godward icons

[olde_fashioned]

12 icons of the artwork of John William Godward. I think these ladies resemble Roman or Greek women. As usual, please credit and comment, right-click to see the name of the painting, and don't steal or hotlink. Enjoy!

10: Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11: The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12: She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13: She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14: She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15: She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16: She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17: She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18: She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19: She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20: She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21: She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22: She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23: Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24: She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25: Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26: She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27: She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28: Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29: Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30: Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31: Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Muchas gracias, Tiff! ;-)

[prima-donna87.livejournal.com]

Did you make this icon as well? Do you mind if I take it? I love it so much!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

The "prefer a book" one? It's not mine -- emiv aka sweet__tea made it in burgundy, and I asked her if she would make me a blue version to match my layout. She was kind enough to oblige me. :-)

[sabrinafair2.livejournal.com]

Lovely icons and happy birthday!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you!

[merula-alba.livejournal.com]

I took #2 and #5. These are very beautiful and graceful! I love the verses you posted as well. :D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the comment! #2 was also one of my favourites, as you can see. ;-)

I *adore* Proverbs 31! :-D

[etaureau.livejournal.com]

I love all of your icons, but I am especially enamoured with 11. I would like to credit you properly - how should I do that? Many thanks!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! To credit simply put the text < lj_user = "olde_fashioned" > in one of the comment boxes beneath the icon you're uploading, removing the spaces and replacing the underscore with a space. It should turn out like this: olde_fashioned Does this help?

[etaureau.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'll be browsing through your icons - they are beautiful.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the compliment and the comment! :-)

[robertinbc.livejournal.com]

Nice icons.I will take #9 and will credit.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[queenpeladon.livejournal.com]

Hiya! I just stumbled across your journal and have fallen in love with your icons - I'll be taking a few from various posts, and crediting if used. Many thanks!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the comment!

[penguinsrpals.livejournal.com]

Hey Lauren! And Happy Birthday! I hope you got to spend it with your friends and family and got lots of presents! Lol! *hugs* :) ♥ Tiffany

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I did, thank you!

Hey Tiff! Lookie! ;-P



I hope you like it! I had a heck of a time finding images of the two of them, so let me know if it's satisfactory!

[penguinsrpals.livejournal.com]

Awww! It's beautiful! Thank you so much! *hugs* It's your birthday and I get a present! Lol! :) ♥ Tiffany

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

My pleasure! ;-) I'm just glad you like it.

I also saved the images as individual icons, if you want one.

[oldfashioned42.livejournal.com]

These are so very pretty! Not taking any right this minute, but thought I'd let you know I added you as a friend :) Oh, and happy birthday!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you, and thank you! ;-)

Oh, and I simply must say, I think you have an excellent username!! hee hee!!

[oldfashioned42.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome!

Lol, yes, I love my username! I actually got the idea for it from an old movie called You Were Never Lovelier. There's a very sweet song in it called "I'm Old Fashioned." The movie was made back in 1942, hence my username: oldfashioned42. Anyway, probably more than you wanted to know ;)

P.S. I adore your icon! Isn't Madame X such a gorgeous painting?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I'm satisfied with mine, as well. I've never heard of that movie, though I like some of the oldies. For some odd reason I love Dinner At The Ritz with David Niven. Have you ever seen that one?

Thank you! And I'm just vain enough to tell you that she won 2nd place over at art_stills...;-P I've got a trio of Sargents hanging over my bed.

[oldfashioned42.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't seen Dinner at the Ritz. I've always liked David Niven though - and hey, you can buy it on Amazon for 44 cents :)

Only second place? That's a shame! Thanks for the link to art_stills, though! I'll have to join the community :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

It's pretty good, or I think so at least. He makes a good hero, I think. We got it for a dollar! LOL!

I'm flattered you think so, so thanks! I like the community. Then again I like art, so long as they're fully clothed! What fun are pretty ladies wearing pretty dresses if there aren't any pretty dresses?? :-/

[oldfashioned84.livejournal.com]

Your icons are so beautiful! I'm going to take 4 and 11 and will credit you for them. :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm glad you like them! :-)

[mosellegreen.livejournal.com]

[boundandchained.livejournal.com]

Ooh, lovely! Such bright, rich colors! "I must have them all!" I said, and so it was.
