Unusual
Flora, portrait by Arcimboldo, who starting to use only flowers , fruits and vegetables as a medium to paint his royal paintings. Circa 1591.
I zoomed in on her mouth - very unusual. Her teeth are freaky. But so darned interesting. And to think it was done in 1591. Thank you for posting this Mimi. Where were you? Imagine the look on Kate Middleton's face if Arcimboldo did her royal portrait?! LOL
Very unusual!! I wonder what this painting would be worth. It would go lovely with the brass camel table.
