Love the expression. Elliott was one of those super talented artists that more people need to learn about. Just fabulous!

I really dislike the clothing from this time period, on the men in particular, so I've always tried to avoid buying paintings whose stories take place in this era. But Freeman Elliott is another unsung master of the female form who uses that skill to great effect here. A well known and absolutely stunning piece!

I'm the same way with those historical themed covers based in that era. I collected all the vintage paperbacks though because I was a completist. But this one always stood out to me as a beautiful Dell cover through all the years of collecting and when I would look at the cover I would say to myself that I'd love to own the original art. So many years later when I found the art I couldn't believe it.
And the Kunstler men's adventure cover I have up has the period clothing as well and when I bought it I figured I would flip it, but when I got it in my hands I couldn't believe how well it was painted and how vivid it was in person. When I brought it to the frame shop the guy there told me it looked like a museum piece. He loved it as well. So that went up on my wall and I just deal with their clothes!

Hah, I know exactly how you feel, Brian. Because having said what I said, I too have made exceptions from time to time and bought paintings from time periods where I hate the period clothing, but was willing to put up with that because there was a lovely lady on the cover!
