It’s #NationalHatDay! 🎩
Here’s our 1786/7 Joshua Reynolds oil painting, ‘Maria Marow Gideon and her Brother, William’. Maria wears a picture hat or Gainsborough hat, which was at the height of fashion in 18th-century Britain.

Just photographed this electric portrait of Augustus, clearly channelling the power of the gods on this small silver denarius. Despite the ageless portrait of Augustus he was in reality over 60 years old when the coin was struck at the turn of the 1st century. #roman #numismatics
