<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 279334, member: 1476"]The difficulty in dating your painting by the women's costume is it's symbolic. She's representing purity or true love or some such. Women in that era -- whether late 1800s or early 1900s -- did not wear their hair down in public. And the costume is not really of fashion. It appears to be a period interpretation of classical robes. As relatively unstructured and lacking much surface ornamentation (although there does appear to be detail on the bodice,) I would think Gibson Girl era which was late 1800s to early 1900s but could be a bit later. </p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
