[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 384935, member: 2844"]It is gorgeous. It does, printemps, spring. French language, that could also be parts of Belgium and Switzerland. Belgium is a great Art Nouveau country, just like France. In Continental Europe Art Nouveau is known as having a gradual development from life-like floral swirls and sprays to stylized floral swirls and sprays. But if you're not comfortable with the term, you can use the French/European terms 'belle époque' or 'fin de siècle'. Both refer to that same period, but don't have the stricter definition the term Art Nouveau often has outside Continental Europe. The girl's hairstyle is also very much of the 1890s. For those of us with arthritic or otherwise afflicted necks, lovely Printemps in all her glory: [B][ATTACH=full]133173[/ATTACH][/B][/QUOTE]
