It's a very happy New Year with this relaxed young lady, painted by Al Moore in 1949. The old fashioned Champagne coupe, which I remember from my younger days but is hardly ever seen now, always seems much more louche than modern day flutes.
Have a good 2017, everyone and thanks for all your views and comments. Reviews of the year next!
Happy 2017 Legatus! :)

As I'm sure a gentleman such as yourself is well aware the story goes that that style of champagne glasses are modeled on the shape of Marie Antoinette's breasts.

Happy New Year sir!
Sadly, not true but a good story. She may have had a milk bowl, modelled on her breast for her dairy but the coupe style glass was invented in England in the seventeenth century, where sparkling wine was very popular (the French considered it a low class drink only suitable for prostitutes until Louis XIV developed a taste for it.)
DeleteHave a great 2017!!!!
