Thought this was too interesting not to share. And yes, I bought one too. Even the face cards are right.

The Wars of the Roses: A Playing Card Collection by ZeYang

This is more than a deck. It’s a gallery of war, a theater of ambition, and a tribute to one of history’s most gripping conflicts.

“Femme au chapeau… (Lady in a pink hat, blue apron)” by Rosalie Renaudin (French) - Ivory miniature / 1828 - Artcurial (Paris, France) #WomenInArt #RosalieRenaudin #Renaudin #Artcurial #PortraitMiniature #19thCenturyArt #WomensArt #WomenArtists #art #artText #arte #FrenchArtist #WomenPaintingWomen

French artist Rosalie Renaudin worked within a thriving Parisian market for portrait miniatures creating intimate images meant to be held, exchanged, and kept close. A partially preserved mount inscription, “Renaudin peintre… Rue de la Paix… à Paris,” suggests an artist advertising her address in a prestigious district, where clients commissioned likenesses as tokens of affection, status, or family memory.

In this oval portrait miniature, an unidentified young woman with pale skin and brown curls faces us in three-quarter view, her expression calm and direct. She wears an extravagant, wide-brimmed pink hat crowned with a sculptural bow. A sheer veil of the similar rose tone falls along one side of her face and shoulder. Gold drop earrings glint beside her cheeks. Her dress is a bright pink bodice with a low, gently squared neckline and puffed white sleeves gathered into bands of pink ribbon. Around her neck, a narrow black ribbon is fastened with a gold clasp and drops to a gold cross pendant. A blue apron painted with soft shading and a striped edge covers her skirt, adding a practical note to the fashionable ensemble. Renaudin’s precise highlights describe satin ribbon, starched folds, and the ivory’s soft luminosity.

The sitter’s styling performs a careful balance as the luxurious hat and jewelry signal refinement, while the blue apron and white cloth hint at domestic labor or virtuous practicality (an identity shaped by ideals of femininity as much as by fashion). Painted in 1828, the bold millinery and carefully revealed shoulders align with late-1820s taste for drama tempered by propriety. In choosing miniature on costly, luminous, and unforgiving ivory Renaudin also signals professional confidence in a genre where many women artists found both training and financial independence. Even without her name, the sitter reads as self-possessed and present, preserved through a woman artist’s close, disciplined attention.

Lisa Loeb hits #1 with “Stay (I Missed You) 31 years ago today.

She’d been working as a temp at Ernst & Young when her friend Ethan Hawke brought the song to @benstiller.redhour.com, who used it in “Reality Bites.”

It remains the only #1 hit by an artist who was not already signed to a label.
