No shrinking violet here, but a magenta queen, wearing the brightest that the mid #1860s had to offer. The black lace acts as a contrast detail and picks out the lines of the gown #philamuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Blue illustration on a tile with a boy play with a brimmed hat, nickers, a jacket with a bell shape around hip playing a string instrument.
2nd visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art this year.
This cutie is from a series of Delft tiles circa 1750's.
Reminds me of recent artists such as Dick Bruna.
I love how they recreated the way these everyday items were displayed..
