Masterpiece Monday

I'm back! Summer has been a crazy blur and unfortunately my blog posting has been sparse as a result. I have missed my daily blogging and am so very excited to return to all the exciting events that occur here! So, without further ado, lets start this week right with a new Masterpiece Monday, which just happens to feature one of my favorite paintings... enjoy!

Franz Xaver Winterhalter. Empress Elisabeth. 1865
