LES TROIS PRINCESSES DE LA MER
Width: 57" , 144.8 cm
Repeat: 25" , 63.5 cm
100% cotton glazed, chintz

This design includes three different mermaids, or princesses, on a background of calligraphied water. The movement of the water in the design is soothing. Each princess is posed performing acts that we do in our everyday LIFE, yet captured in a whimsical way. The first princess is talking on her "conch shell", holding a clutch purse. She is adorned with pearl earrings and a pearl necklace, making plans for an elegant evening out. The second princess is sitting glamoursly on an oyster shell. She is dreamily gazing into a hand held mirror with her delicate fingers and painted nails. Her profile is perfect. She is dressed up. She has lipstick on, and mascara and she too is adorned with jewelry. The third princess is innocent, adorable, sweet. She is loving her best friend, her "sea" horse. The artist, Leigh, cleverly "tacked up" her friend with bit and reins. She doesn't care what is going on in the world because she is immersed in her own world, with her love at the moment, her seahorse.
