olde_fashionedNot as "costume-y" of a painting this time, but I kind of fell in love with it, lol. I could dream up all sorts of scenarios for this one!
Feel free to discuss and/or drool! ;-P

But there are several artists that I find interesting, among them Gainsborough, Reynolds, John Singleton Copley (who IIRC was largely self-taught), Vermeer, Ingres, David (who was heavily involved in the French Revolution), Waterhouse, and I've read a bit about Tissot, whose work was sadly underappreciated in his lifetime. A quick browse of the traditional art section of your local library ought to produce a few fascinating volumes! :-D I hope you find something you like.
