As a rule, I'm not much on clothes and gewgaws. There's something that just sends me around the bend, though, about a painting with excellent detail in clothing or ewelry. Here are two fine examples by the French painter Jean-August-Dominique Ingres.
Comtesse de Haussonville, 1845, by Ingres
Princess de Brolie, 1851, by Ingres, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
