| This is my favorite piece of art that I own......I've had her about 12 years. I spotted her in a store (that sadly is no more) right before Christmas and told my dh that's what I wanted for Christmas, just this print. When I opened my present on Christmas morning I almost cried...he had gotten the wrong print! Thank goodness it was still there. |

| I don't know what it is about this picture that captures my heart so much, is it the pensive look on the young mademoiselle's face? The fact that she's probably writing a love letter in some small french cafe with her glass of red wine and her fountain pen? Notice her sweet black purse? |

| And the waiter behind her? This picture just speaks volumes to me! The funny thing is that I had it a short time and then watched the movie "The Way We Were" and in one of the last scenes of the movie I spied this in the background....almost died! What are the odds? Wish I had that leather banquette she's sitting at though.... |

WOW what a great story
I do have treasured pieces that my brother painted for me.
I just wish I had more wall space to hang more art.

Gail, I love your picture. It is wonderful and as she is sitting there thinking, this picture makes me think, as well.
I totally see why you fell in love with it.
It does evoke a bittersweet kind of feeling, doesn't it? I think it is lovely and I certainly understand why you love it.
I posted yesterday about a piece I won at auction. It is one of my favorite pieces.

Husbands....lol. he tried. That is an amazing print, no wonder you love it so.
I have this print too! It is my favorite piece of art. I have tried to find out about it but can find nothing. Have you learned any more about it? I bought mine at a consignment shop about 8 years ago.

I used to have this print and I'm trying to track down another one. Can you tell me who the artist is? I thought it was Manet, but I can't find it that way. I'd love to have another copy of this - it was my favorite, too!
