[QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 27532, member: 57"]Admando, now "we" just need to find a photo of Grace Kelly's profile wearing a similar hat/headcovering. I also wish "we" could find a photo of Grace Kelly's profile with her ear showing. If "we" can do that, her "ear" may be the best clue yet (ear configuration can be quite distinctive). Unfortunately "we" don't have any way of knowing if the artist took "artistic license" with the "ear" of the woman in your painting. Messilane, your timeline is correct about her not "modeling" after 1956. But, that does not necessarily preclude an artist in 1965 from portraying Grace Kelly (and two others) in what seem to be "modeling poses." Timelines can be wavy/extended when a painting includes a "threesome" of any one kind. Haven't there been some "famous" portraits of our various "founding fathers" where two or three figures are portrayed in [U]one[/U] painting when their individual renown fell into two or more decades? And here's another example of "artistic license" with timelines in portraying well-known people.
