Woman Seated in Blue

State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg; Venturi no. 705 
I know that this post is about fashion, but when I was at the Hermitage last summer and saw that Cezanne I started hysterically laughing.  Like, the uncontrollable fit that only happens in the most inappropriate place at the most inane time, like on a tour of the Hermitage with my boyfriend and a couple from Australia.  Woman Seated in Blue is clearly Maggie Smith.  No?

    It's totally Maggie Smith! I actually like every single piece you chose for the Young Italian Girl recreations, great inspiration! And your Polyvore title cracked me up!
