Yay or Nay? An Unknown Lady

Last week met with another Yay for Mlle Lavergn's pleasant peasant ensemble. This week is a week of mystery, where we are ignorant of the identity of the lady we judge, for her name was lost with time. I hope that doesn't come back to bite us in the butt!


The fashion painter, Alexander Roslin displays his skills by painting a lady in blue (1753) who looks very flowery and chooses to keep her neck warm. Yay or Nay?

Yay or Nay? Dauphin Louis-Ferdinand

The masquerade gown of last week was another successful yay! Will our winning streak be over or will this week's selection sour your appetite.


Alexander Roslin paints Louis, Dauphin of France (1765) in a green and purple jacket complimented with a leopard-skin helmet. Yay or Nay?
