Wonderful picture of a beautiful woman, an interesting house and I suspect there might be some interesting stories about both!!
What a classic portrait.
A beautiful portrait!
Pretty lady, but what is holding up her dress?
I'm glad Barbara asked that!
Ah, so I'm not the only one who had that thought? Thank you, Barbara!
It's a lovely building... has real character to it.
Love the house.
That could be Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
The portrait looks like a model for a Limoges porcelain figurine.
Les traducteurs automatiques donnent des résultats surréalistes...
I'm with Sylvia about there must be some interesting stories here. She's from a famous, intriguing family.
un beau portrait, dans le type de ces années la, avec ce regard perdu
Beautiful portrait, and the house is very unobtrusive!
I can't help laughing at Barbabra's question. ;)
je ne connaissais pas
As a recovering engineer by education, I was not aware of either Nancy Mitford or Sir Cecil Beaton. So thanks for helping to fill in the gaps. (And the gaps are BIG.)
She was so beautiful...
Fine portrait of a beautiful lady...
Your choice was perfect, Ciel! Sir Beaton's photo is absolutely gorgeous!
what a beautiful portrait!
That's a very classy and beautiful portrait.
What a wonderful photo! She looks like a 1930's movie star.
Interesting post, Ciel. I loved her book on Voltaire. My question was going to be, "Could the 'neckline' be any lower? I think not." Gorgeous portrait. I also love seeing where famous people lived or where history happened.
Very nice find! I had no idea she lived in France at all!
She is a beauty for sure. The strapless gown has always been so elegant oui! I wonder if Cecil Beaton could have worked his magic on moi :))))
A lovely portrait but I have a strong urge to fix her "wardrobe malfunction"! ;-)
