Description This is an utterly selfish painting, probably not marketable in the least: a pretty woman in Queen Anne's dress.

Watercolor on illustration board, 10x10

I love it too! It was copied from a portrait of "Anne of Cleves" by, I think, Holbien. I'm a sucker for Tudor styles...

Yeah same! You don't see that style of dress much in historic references and stuff though. Most tudor dresses are based on the big fur cuffs and stuff. I think Scarlet Johanson wore a dress in that style in the Other Boleyn Girl, it really stood out! I love your style of art btw!

It's a beautiful painting though...selfish or not. Besides, some great dress styles just have to be recreated in art. Ireally like this piece.

That dress is to *die* for! Such a gorgeous design & in a wonderous colour also!
I really like this painting - the simplicity of the overall piece balances well against the intricate detail in the dress, jewellery, chair frame & her hair!
Yet another beautiful painting!

Pretty she is but she seems lazy/dreamy/spoiled too. ^^ Anyway, the pose and the dress are really great. It's a beautiful painting.

I think it came out very well - and hey, even if you're right, marketability isn't everything. If you don't indulge yourself once in a while, art'll just be another job, and that would be a sad thing indeed.

Actually, it's really appealling... Her langorous pose and slightly dreamy/seductive expression really draw my attention. Beautiful work on the dress, m'dear!
