Thank you, animotus, for the beautiful card!

I am now absolutely intrigued by the work of Tamara de Lempicka. The shadows, form and colours are just incredible. Below on the left is the stunning artwork that graces the card animotus kindly sent me, and on the right an (incomplete)portrait of her husband just prior to their divorce

It's beautiful! Much more beautiful than anything I could come up with (currently! I hope one day I'm this good). Thank so you much. :)

It looks like a really nice weight fabric, too; the way it falls! :D

Oh, I LOVE this stuff. My Dad used to run a bookshop and there were a series of cards with these images on them, mostly of the kind on the left, i.e. 30s-esque ladies. I had a copy of two or three on my walls through most of scholl and uni.

Yes, she did many more females than males; all gorgeous! I just love the heavy, dramatic shadows. :)

I remember studying this at school...I love the shading it's so purdy :3

It s very beautiful. The heavy shadows also remind me a little of Caravaggio, even though the styles are completely different.
