- andrew1860
- I'm a antique dealer and Historical Folk artist. I created this blog to document and highlight my artwork along with my day to day life as a Artist, Antique dealer and collector. My favorite two periods in history are France's Ancien Régime, the time of French Queen Marie Antoinette 1770-1789 and the antebellum period of the American South 1830-1860. Both of theses periods ended tragically with war. I intend to explore furniture, architecture, decorative arts, culture, history, fashion and the people that made up these two fascinating periods in time. I recently moved back to my roots of Mobile, Alabama after living away for 17 years. Come and explore the restoration of my turn-of-the century Art's and crafts bungalow into a Antebellum show place.
That is one cute little fellow... the painting is all about legs, isn't it... equine and human. Both have splendid examples of their respective forms... bravo Gros!
ReplyDeleteMen during this time would put pants on wet so as they dried they would form to there legs. During the 18th century and first half of the nineteen century the shape of a mans legs were more important then his face. In this case he has a handsome face and legs. Thanks for your comment!
