Okay, so this is interesting. I’ve found a court suit dated to 1770 at the Mint Museum that looks a lot like the outfit worn by Carlo Buonaparte, Napoleon’s father, in this painting.

I don’t think it’s the same, though. But it is fascinating to see the similarities. The painting of Carlo Buonaparte is dated sometime between 1766-1779.

LOVE how the further into winter you get the way you can just feel the mystery & sense of liminality in the world increasing like. in your bones. you can just feel the year wearing thin around you & all the things that could make their way into the world in the long nights towards the end of it. like every day my chances of meeting a sinister faerie creature in the quiet woods after dark goes up

#not to be ridiculous but one of the reasons I love winter so much. as soon as you get padt mid november the vibes of feeling like an 18th #century folk song character meeting a strange fey court in the snowy woods go up like 10000% & I enjoy it hugely #the world is like. humming w weird not quite magic #thoughts

François-Hubert Drouais (1727-1775) "Portrait of a Woman, Said to be Madame Charles Simon Favart (Marie Justine Benoîte Duronceray, 1727–1772)" (1757) Oil on canvas Located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, New York, United States In 1745 Mademoiselle Duronceray—the singer, dancer, and comedienne probably portrayed here—married Charles Simon Favart, the father of French comic opera. Among her best-known roles was that of the heroine in The Loves of Bastien and Bastienne, 1753, in which she inspired a revolution in theatrical costume by wearing authentic peasant dress. Drouais’s portrait of her seated at a harpsichord recalls traditional representations of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music.
