The Reading Woman

The picture below is a pastel by Louis Comfort Tiffany. It is of his wife Louise. It currently hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Does it remind you of yourself when you fall asleep while reading?

This next photo is of a watercolor by Carl Olaf Larsson. It hangs in the Louvre, Paris. Now that I have a kitten in addition to my dog, this likeness reminds me of myself last night!!

Artists must enjoy capturing likenesses of women reading because these pictures are two of many AND eight of them are available on lovely notecards at Indigo Books. I bought both sets and am hesitant to use them–so pretty. Take a look and choose a box of 12 cards to use for thank you cards and such. Or give them as a gift. They are simply lovely.
