Original in the Wallace Collection, London, U.K. Contributed by Pammie, who comments:
The most
petticoat passioned of them all. This is not only Fragonard's most famous Rococo painting, but also one of the most familiar images in 18th Century art. It shows the Barton de Saint-Julien (who commissioned the painting) looking suitably ecstatic as he takes advantage of the view afforded by his mistress' uninhibited enjoyment of the swing. |

(Please note that material blatantly of a sexual nature is included, for those who care) |
by Augustus Leopold Egg (1816-1863) Original in the City Art Gallery, Birmingham, U.K. Contributed by Janet, with the following commentary: "I suspect that the same model was used twice. It shows them in an early railway carriage somewhere near Menton in the south of France. The dress(es) appear to be in the 'Annabel Princess' style, and would have had crinolines underneath." |

David M.: "I think the below painting may well be by John Singer Sargent, judging by its style and content. His subjects appear to have slim features and long necks. To the right is an example of his work."

Jack writes: "Here are (three) illustrations by the classic pinup artist, Enoch Bolles, who worked from the 1910s to 1940s. By most accounts his fashion sense (he also did fashion illustration) was smarter than any other pinup artist. There is more of (his work) at my flickr site at: www.flickr.com/photos/53825478@N00"

Carole Jean:Original French Pen & Ink Drawing + Watercolor, 1921by Fernand Couderc Risque Art Deco Era Watercolor. Marvelous original artwork on paper; pen and ink + watercolor of entwined, stockinged legs, pointing straight up, surrounded by flower petal-like layers of frou-frou lingerie. A great image for the art lover with a leg, lingerie, and panty fetish - love the garters! Couderc's illustrative work appeared in popular magazines, journals, advertising and posters in France during 1920s.

Shelley found this image of a gal wearing an unusually short hoopskirt. Tessy guesses it is a prototype model from an Elvgren-type pinup drawing. |

David M. (6 pictures):"I recently come across some sumptuous images of 19th century women by James Tissot (1836-1902). He certainly had a way of enhancing his subject's femininity through the use of petticoats. Unfortunately I had to crop them quite severely, but the originals are freely available on the WWW."
