    the first one is also my all time favourite I have a picture of it since my childhood. Impressive, gothic, female…..; but I do not know who has made it (hope not to embarrass me now ;/ )
    YEP - that is a VERY good new idea to paint! DO IT !!

    the first one is “all is vanity”, charles allan gilbert, 1892 (he made one other similar work with a devil face) - the second is “l’amour de pierrot”, artist unknown?, circa 1920 - of course i never knew these facts before researching these pictures

    the first one I’ve always loved, the other ones I had never seen. I’m curious to see how your painting turns out. Received Taboo in the mail. Thank You :-)
