Reminds me *a lot* of my own expression when reading the news...only I usually look worse. But then again, if you look this good, even the worst news can only hit so bad (and I'm sure there were some whoppers in the late 18th century).

I'm tan and blonde...but fair brunettes can be so fun too. So, so much fun...

That feeling when you want to go home and rethink your life...and not in a good way. Ever the master of expressions, Lady Emma Hamilton as painted by George Romney, portraying a woman so, so deep into melancholy...

"O brave new world"...; this honestly remains one of my all-time favorites. Passion in every stroke, in this, George Romney's study of Emma Hamilton as Miranda.

Dancing and making music in front of an active volcano is such a vibe, especially when you're as gorgeous and well-dressed as this darling. As always, Emma Hamilton shows us how it's done, in this portrait by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun.
