This is the central panel of a gesso wall frieze titled “The Wassail” by Charles Rennie Mackintosh from 1900.  If you look closely enough, you can see the beads, string, and steel pins that embellish it.  Mackintosh was a Scottish painter, architect, and designer of Art Nouveau and is often labeled as the pioneer of the Modernist Movement.

“I’ve had the coat for years, the dress is from Fida. The rope was tied around a carpet, now it’s my belt.

Usually I want to be unnoticed. Maybe that’s the reason I wear black mostly.

My friend Aura has a great style. She looks like Aura, not like anyone else.”
