The Butcher Shop

Artist: Alexander Zerdin Kruse (American, 1890-1972)

Date: ca. 1940

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, CA, United States

Description

Alexander Kruse depicted a kosher Jewish butcher shop and the predominantly immigrant population it served with dignity and understanding. While paintings and popular illustrations of New York's Lower East Side at the time tended to focus on its poverty and overcrowded conditions, Kruse instead presented a clean, tidy business with well-dressed and orderly patrons. Kruse was born to Jewish immigrants and raised in the neighborhood depicted in The Butcher Shop, which may account for his sensitive treatment of the subject.

The Bistro

Artist: Félix Vallotton (Swiss French, 1865–1925)

Date: c. 1895

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio, United States

Description

The hustle and bustle of eager customers in a crowded bistro is captured in this painting. One can almost hear the loud chatter and shouts of orders being called to the busy servers behind the countertop. All in jackets, the men by the bar have rosy cheeks and noses, perhaps from the cold outdoors contrasting the warmth of their drinks.

Dear fellow costumers, does anyone have tips on how to do a ca. 1800-1805-ish woman's hairstyle using medium-length hair that looks suitably 'period' and does not involve me fully committing to the bit by cutting my hair à la Titus or getting bangs (both of which would be great for the one evening I need the hairdo for, but... not so much thereafter)?

Looking for period hairdos (and people who did them) online, a lot of what I can find in terms of instructions either looks very 1810-onwards, so somewhat too late to match my gown, or is 'Bridgerton-themed' (which, to clarify, is exactly what I don't want my hair to look like, ideally).

A low bun would probably do the trick, but I'd love to know if anyone has any more original ideas, tricks, or tips. Those would be greatly appreciated!
