I have no idea who the Gibson girls are. American? Victorian? but I love this drawing, it is gorgeous. During my literature degree I studied one American artist as my spot light and found out that American women were way in front of Europeans of their time in emancipation.

Such wonderful lighting over this image with detail perfection! I am so jealous, I can't draw at all... Aaaargh! I also very much enjoy the pose you have given her. Great facial features as well. Thanks for sharing and good luck!

Comment from Neilnap773
a lovely presentation as usual from the great Linda , although i am not so keen on this one as your other presentations and i believe this may be because of the mixture and application of tones on the blouse ..it appears to me as though its lacking the depth unlike the rest of the form...

Comment from Sean T Phelan
Hi Linda!
That's a fine looking drawing,my friend! : )
It kicks my imagination into high gear and I just can't help imagining what a wonderfully interesting picture it would be if you'd chosen to break with traditional ideas and drawn this 'Gibson Girl' as a 'Full' or
a 'Partial' Nude!
Her late nineteenth century hairstyle,her thrillingly good looks, and her evidently voluptuous figure would all suit themselves very nicely to that exciting style of figure drawing and your expertly developed style of shading and detailing would work magnificently towards making a truly fascinating drawing of a 'Gibson-esque' Nude!
As it is though it's quite an enjoyable work of art!
'Good Show',my friend!

Fantastic!!!! This could easily be mistaken as a photo. I love the softness you created. Also so much detail in the hair and the blouse. Wonderful work. Thank you for sharing this one.

Comment from Sange
One needs no name here, your work is unique and lovely and has a style only you can own.
Ah yes the Gibson Girls of the 19th&20th century. Charlse Gibson used his sister and his wife as his models then added a few others over time.
Your work is always so real, elegant and has a photo like quality.
Beautiful vintage look showing amazing details on this lovely Gibson girl.
Fine work :)

Frankly I don't know who the Gibson girls are, but this one has ethereal beauty which you have so very well brought out! A beautiful composition done in the classic stuyle. A strong contender for the contest!. Good luck!
