[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 978181, member: 5833"]She's a lovely bacchante. Very nice use of the color layers & like the way the bodice of her dress resembles large petals. Probably dates 1920 - 1940. She may have taken a knock, although I see just the slightest hint of a ding to the frame. Sometimes thin background layers crack from dryness & pressure created by the bezel.
