La Belle Isault Studio Muse

Newest of the muses, La Belle Isault is named for the character in King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in which La Belle Isault and Sir Tristan fall madly in love after accidentally drinking a love potion.

This muse has been created from a photograph taken in the early 1900's. She has mesh and lace butterfly wings, holds a pressed rose to her breast and is the art from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning. La Belle Isault has been very challenging for me due to her muted tones and piercing eyes.
