@rubykarlene Here’s an illustration featuring an umbrella AND a fan! (And a very cake-like hat)
Recently obsessed with David's designs for the republican uniform. Scottish physician John Moore wrote in 1792, upon seeing a man on the street in full republican uniform: "I took him for a Major of Dragoons at least. On enquiry I find he is a miniature painter."
Thinking about these twin portraits by Vigée Le Brun- the scandalous version and the acceptable version 💐 Vigée Le Brun’s foundness for loose white chemises and adorned straw hats is a mood I will be taking into spring 🌸
