Paintings of the Past and the Artists

Lady Palmer

by Frank Bernard Dicksee

English, 1853-1928

(Note: I am placing a painting and the photograph of the artist to show the dignity of these artists and the subjects that they admired enough to paint. I like the contrasts of the women's soft, feminine appearance, and the artists rugged, yet neat and orderly; dignified masculine demeanor.)
