Fine Line

There's a fine line between vanity and good grooming. Without mirrors most of us would be total slobs, but I guess it's that lingering gaze of self-admiration that constitutes unabashed vanity.

George Randolph Barse — Toilet of a Zephyr — 1894

George Plank — Vanity — 1917

I had the Plank picture of Vanity over my desk for years.... I gave it away when I switched offices, and I still miss it!

I like it. I'm unfamiliar with the artist but will look further into him.

Wow ! Do I ever love that Barse piece - that is some accomplished watercolouring.

I enjoy the delicate colors in the Barse painting, and the strong design of the Plank illustration. Thank you for posting them!
