Look, more 18th century people! Yes, it's my good friend the Marquis de Sade again, this time stepping out with his redheaded mistress, Laure de Lauris. This was another commission for the wonderful :iconjadexmara:, who, like the divine Marquis, is a person of the most discriminating taste.

The idea behind this pic was, de Sade and Laure are at a masquerade ball, dressed in costumes. Laure is all flowers and innocence, and de Sade is looking appropriately devilish.

I think Laure's hoops are my favorite part of this picture. You practically could hide a family of midgets under those things.

Another commission? Sweet! Would you like me to schedule you in next month? I'm raising funds for my move back to California, so that would come at a good time. :)

OMG AWESOME!!! Another 18thc. artist! <333

First of all, it's awesome to see someone who draws actual historical figures-- all of the research you've done is absolutely humbling. I have so much respect for people who know their time periods in and out, including the biographies of all the important figures back in the day. Makes me want to continue researching the "who's who" of 1725-1726 for our own story.

I absolutely love the details on Laure's stomacher, and the virginity and innocense implied by the blue gown. De Sade looks appropriately devilish indeed! Masquerades were always so magical; they had so much mystique and people were free to unleash their inhibitions under their anonymity. Love the velvety texture on de Sade's waistcoat and breeches!

Instant fave <333333
