Serene Woman in Classical Costume

This is a gorgeous old Paris postcard of a woman in classical Greek or Roman dress.  I've cleaned it up and repaired it, and added some subtle tint.

This classical theme seems to have been popular for postcards in the Victorian / Edwardian era, for there are many of them in my collection.  I think the pose on this one is particularly pretty and serene.  She could be a goddess, a muse, or just a lady with her thoughts faraway.

Enjoy ~
