The lovely soi-disant fresco “Les Parisiennes” (Knossos) original and on papyrus

Notice the fresh, white-washed, sun-bleached translucence of the original fresco, even after 3,500 years!
My replica of the fresco on papyrus: Click to ENLARGE
Notice the warm earthen colours of the papyrus version. You can also clearly see the texture of the papyrus on my own picture above. Sadly, I dropped it once and tore it and when I put it back together, it came out a bit crooked. But it is still lovely, and that is all the matters. I though to myself, what better way to begin the month of February, when Valentine’s is just 14 days away, right in the middle of the month, and so here you have them.
Enjoy them as much as I do.
