<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 727504, member: 17469&quot;]Wonderful presentation, SM. As the young miss &quot;Ceres&quot; has a French flavor, I did a bit of looking around. Smilie&#039;s engraving of her is from the painting &quot;Antique Poesy&quot; by the French artist Jules Joseph Lefebvre, shown at <a href="http://www.iment.com/maida/family/mother/vicars/p110.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.iment.com/maida/family/mother/vicars/p110.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.iment.com/maida/family/mother/vicars/p110.htm</a>, and Ceres of course is the Goddess of agriculture.</p><p><br /></p><p>A quick scan of Lefebvre&#039;s porfolio at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Joseph_Lefebvre" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Joseph_Lefebvre" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Joseph_Lefebvre</a> shows he was particularly adept at painting the French ladies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
