I think this must be the Ariel picture frame for my daughter + the Diana plate for my mother-in-law

Not sure what I’ve been doing to deserve this Vinted algorithm, but here is its latest suggestion for me

Ah, me too! And as Circe, and as Ariadne ...

❤️ I’m looking forward to this one - less so the Netflix P&P 😬

The question is, do I truly want a cosy tartan cape/poncho for the coming winter or have I just been watching too much Outlander

Huge fan of the vinted seller marketing their wares like this 💀

Nicher question but do you know what people of the time would have called it? i.e. would this lady of 1785 give a performance on her 'baroque guitar' or would 'guitar' suffice in that context?

@emilybrand.bsky.socialSep 9, 2026, 1:57 PM

Perfect, thank you!

@emilybrand.bsky.socialSep 9, 2026, 1:56 PM

Thank you!

Hello, clever music historians Can I legitimately call this a guitar, or is there a more proper name for this 18th-century instrument? Portrait is French, d. 1785 (I know nothing about guitars)

Don't mean to brag but I've just submitted the manuscript for my new book on MARIE ANTOINETTE'S LADIES ... three years late*, but still, here I am applauding myself *blame the children

I don't know much about Joachim Murat, but something tells me he was eager to be appreciated for the curve of his buttock
