A beautiful collection of paintings depicting women of elegance and style who have inspired artists throughout history. Each page includes famous women's birthdays, old proverbs and thought-provoking quotations from poetry and prose. The quotations are by or about women - very often the font of wisdom - and wry comment passed down the ages.

With space to write notes for every day of the year, and complete with engravings, small colour details and softly tinted and decorated pages, this book of days is a volume to use again and again - and to treasure for always.
