Tete de Mouton a lá Hurquier

Taking as inspiration the Jean-Baptiste Perronneau Painting called Mademoiselle Huquier holding a cat (1747). I present you two hairstyles inspired by the beginning of the gilded Rococo Period. This Hairstyle is called "Tête de Mouton"  wich literally means "sheep's head" due the similarity of the texture of a sheep wool. The "Tête de Mouton" was a discreet hairstyle which gained popularity around the 1750's and remained in style throughout the 1760's with many variations and sub styles.

The whole Set consists of two variations of the 1750's "tête de mouton" Hairstyle and a Tulle Flower Accesory to complete the hairstyle.

I was looking through some very old magazines on Google Books and I found a fascinating little piece from 1758 about "a gentleman very fond of swimming but subject to the cramp" inventing a sort of lifejacket which resembled a waistcoat, but was made with four panels of cork covered with canvas and could be tied in front with strings. I find it especially interesting since when I googled "when were life jackets invented" it gave a date nearly 100 years later than that. The 1758 article goes on to talk about how useful these are and how many lives they could save if made in large batches for sailors, and I really can't imagine why it wouldn't catch on.

Edit: Ah! Found another article that mentions a patent for a cork life jacket from 1765. Why the heck do all the other articles ignore this and go straight to the 1854 one??

‘A Dutch girl at breakfast’ by Jean-Etienne Liotard (1756)

‘A Dutch girl at breakfast’ is an ode to the genre painting of the Dutch Golden Age. Painted by the French artist Liotard around 1756, the painting shows us the intimacy and the simplicity of the daily activities of a women. It was clearly inspired by paintings like Vermeer’s ‘Milkmaid’ (1660) or de Hooch’s ‘A mother’s duty’ (1660).
