What a great guess. It is not, but I can see how you could interpret that photo. CTyankee May 2012 #2

Haha! Yes! gateley May 2012 #3

Yeah, didn't it for all of us. Now it just looks a bit weird... CTyankee May 2012 #8

#3 certainly looks like Tansy_Gold May 2012 #4

No, not Rossetti's muse...and not pre-Raphaelite... CTyankee May 2012 #6

Then I'm lost, 'cause all I know is the PRB! Tansy_Gold May 2012 #9

I love the PRB! I think it is beautiful. I also love Les Nabis and art nouveau... CTyankee May 2012 #10

Since I'm the only one here at this point... gateley May 2012 #5

gossamer fabric IcyPeas May 2012 #16

I must say I don't think of the gossamer fabric with Lautrec. Must go back and research more! CTyankee May 2012 #33

A story about #6 cthulu2016 May 2012 #20

No, not O'Keeffe or Steichen... CTyankee May 2012 #24

Wally was not his wife. I think you are confusing the two. Wally had left after his wife to be CTyankee May 2012 #26

My bad. I just assumed. cthulu2016 May 2012 #28

Understandable. I had to go back and check as I was unsure... CTyankee May 2012 #31

It was a job. lapislzi May 2012 #49

So, 1, 5 and 6 have been identified! Great. Now we have 2, 3 and 4 to go. CTyankee May 2012 #27
