*English version below* Chaque fois que je dois dessiner des intérieurs de tel ou tel autre palais je me maudis (car l'architecture c'est vraiment pas mon truc) mais j'essaie toujours de faire de mon mieux, car je crois que le lieux qui vivent les personnages sont eux-mêmes des protagonistes tout aussi importantes! (Mais au bout de ça il me faut des cookies pour me remettre 🍪🍪) • Everytime I have to draw an interior of a palace I blame myself (because yes, architecture isn't really my thing) but I try to do my best anyway, because I believe that the locations in which my characters are living in are protagonists as well (but at the end of this I need cookies to recover 🍪🍪) #Sisi #elisabethofaustria #kaiserinelisabeth #Sissi #elisabethkirályne #habsburg #budapest #dancehall #comics #bd #drawing #watercolor #aquarelle #dance #giorgiamarras #steinkis #1850s #ball #dance #Historicalnotes #maisondesauteurs #France #wip (presso Maison des Auteurs)

Before Mary was readmitted to his favour, she was forced to beg his forgiveness for her obduracy, and take a solemn and unremittable oath that her mother had never been his wife [...]

Wooding, Henry VIII, 200-1.

*English version below* Le saviez-vous? Il peut sembler étrange mais dans un bal officiel la danse n'était pas l'élément essentiel de la soirée... parce que il n'y avait pas assez de place pour tout le monde! 😉 Toutefois, le "cotillion" était le moment le plus haut de cette activité. Les couples qui étaient en train de le danser étaient observés par l'aristocratie entière avec grande curiosité. La raison? Parce que danser deux fois le cotillion signifiait s'être fiancés! Did you know it? It sounds strange, but in a official ball dancing was not the focus of the soiree... Because there was not space enough for everyone! 😉 Besides, the "cotillion" was the most significant moment of that activity. The couples who were dancing it were observed with the greatest curiosity by all the aristocracy. The reason? Because dancing twice the cotillion meant that the couple become engaged at that very moment! #Historicalnotes #Sisi #Elisabethofaustria #Kaiserinelisabeth #sissi #erzsébetkirályné #empress #dancing #ball #dancehall #history #19thcentury #ballgown #Habsburg #drawing #wip #comics #bd #budapest #1800s #watercolor #aquarelle #Steinkis #giorgiamarras #maisondesauteurs #france (presso Maison des Auteurs)
