No 20 of 100 Strangers.
I met this young lady, who hails from Clare, in the Limerick Milk Market a fabulous location where artisan food producers and crafts people sell their produce. She and a friend also had a stall there and had pieces of their art work on display and for sale. Both are attending the local art school and I salute them for getting out there and testing the market. The good news is that as a result she got a commission to do some work.
I thought she had a very interesting face and beautiful eyes but to go with it she also had a lovely personality!

The only known double portrait by Gossaert. The sitters have not been identified. On the badge on the man's hat a young naked couple with a cornucopia are depicted, clearly providing a contrast with the age of the subjects, and perhaps an ironic comment on their present state.
Jan Gossaert, sometimes called Mabuse, is often described as a pioneering Romanist: he was one of the first Flemish artists to travel to Italy, and to use aspects of Italian art in the Netherlands. Gossaert's experience of Italian art, however, radically affected his output. He adopted ideas from classical art and from 16th-century works, and created statuesque nudes, in pictures such as the Adam and Eve.

This is a postcard, dated Oct. 6, 1914, from the Netherlands. I think she's from the same planet as Princess Leia.

While sitting at my workstation at home, I can glance to my right and gaze upon this fine piece of automobile art expertly crafted by (The) Appleman. Since joining Flickr I have discovered a good handful of very creative automobile artists who have produced some outstanding works of art. Roger's work was the first that I discovered and was inspirational in my venture into creating AutoArt of my own.
This print by (The) Appleman showcases a 1916 Packard race car that I've seen displayed at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan. I have been fortunate to link up with Roger at this museum on a couple of occasions, along with several other Flickr car enthusiast friends.

The Egyptian Revival, like the Gothic and Classical Revival styles, was popular in American decorative arts throughout the nineteenth century, continuing into the 1920s. The major motifs of Egyptian art, such as obelisks, hieroglyphs, the sphinx, and pyramids, were used in various artistic media, including architecture, furniture, ceramics, and silver. Egyptian motifs provided an exotic alternative to the more traditional styles of the day.
The major period of Egyptomania, as scholars now refer to these periods of obsession with Egyptian antiquities, was revived with the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, after which Egyptian influences pervaded modern culture. Egyptian motifs would become an integral part of the language of Art Deco, a style that would dominate the decorative arts until the mid-1930s.
