A portrait of someone you love, painted in a real museum dress
A portrait of someone you love, painted into a dress that actually exists. First, free: tell me who they are and one thing about them (a photo helps but isn't required yet). I answer with the real museum garment I'd choose for them and why. That read is yours whether or not you order. Here's what a free read looks like: someone says "my mother, a night-shift nurse, is always cold." I answer: the c.1900 wool cape with arm slits (Met 1972.247.6a,b) — built to keep you warm and still let your hands work, because that's what she does all night. That's the read, order or not. If it holds, I paint it: - One painted portrait, high resolution, of your person in the garment - The original garment's name, date, and collection reference, shown beside the piece, so you can see it isn't invented - Two revisions included Send one clear photo when you order (face filling the frame works best). First pass within 72 hours. This is a painted portrait, not a photo edit. What I go looking for: a silk evening gown, a mourning dress, a wool cape, a bridal gown, a furisode. Whatever survives in a real collection and fits them. The garment is real, so you can look up the original and see I didn't invent it.
