Something I'd like to own...

Male Nude, Seen from Behind

Hippolyte Flandrin  (French, Lyons 1809–1864 Rome)

I noticed a pattern...

After leaving the Winter Antiques Show I scrolled back through the images on my phone and noticed there was a definite trend to the objects I photographed...

 An ancient torso...

A John Singer Sargent portrait...

An Art Deco mirror...

And a Rockwell Kent...

I really didn't know I was this predictable. 

Oh well, I guess there are worse things to be attracted to.

Nude, again.

Neo-Regency Hair

I've always loved men's hair from the Regency period... so wild and untamed, but at the same time so calculated and deliberate... I've been attempting it for a while now, but just can't get it right on my own...

 

Prince Regent George IV had the right idea...  and so did this little article...

 

... and so did the costume directors of Vanity Fair...

 

...Colonel Thomas Pinckney, Jr. was obviously very stylish as seen in this c. 1801-2 miniature from the Gibbes Museum, recently on display at the Winter Antiques Show...

 

Neo-Regency hairstyles from a recent Burberry Prorsum show... amazing how right at home these hair styles would have been 200 years ago... now it's time for me to master it for the upcoming Charleston International Antiques Show Preview Party...
