On Wednesdays We Wear Pink:

“Two black page-boys”, Jacques-André Portail, first half of the 18th century.

Remember THIS post? Well, @talleyrandsghost sent this higher quality version of the image and I LOVE it u.u Those pages look better now <3

One of the best parts of doing this work over the course of years is that I keep find bigger, better, and higher resolution photographs of my all-time favorite works. This woman from Zanzibar (ostensibly) holding a pangolin has captured my imagination ever since I first laid eyes on a photo of a reproduction-of-a-reproduction; five days ago Sotheby’s posted this big, clear image. Check out the full painting + details here; they’ve also transcribed the inscription on the back of it. <3
