Have you ever thought a piece of art was so dang beautiful you were determined to waste precious time tracking it it down no matter what?
... Just me?
Lol ok
Anyway this painting was so fricking pretty I did just that. I wanted to find more reference images of escoffions and saw this pretty picture:
But it was so low res and just would not do. And I thought it looked cropped. So I searched more and discovered that in fact it had been cropped:
But that was still low res, plus all that was coming up was a cover for a certain book about medieval clothing, so I worried that the piece was a modern one commissioned by a specific person for their book. But I kept looking and lo and behold, it's a whole glorious mural!
It's called Lady Reading Tristan and Isolde and is from the 19th century.
I love it much. Also her escoffion is fabulous.
These are the efforts of my useless labor, but I thought it was so pretty you guys might want to see it's beauty also.
