She is described as very beautiful. It might be interesting to just pull her out of each photo and sort them with their date to see what “beautiful” meant for each timeframe.

I found the first one very beautiful, and checked the date and late 1800, early 1900s.

Some of the ones I assume from the middle ages crack me up. Very different sense of beautiful.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

The one you placed in the first position is very deserving of the honor.

Copping had one of the finest representations yesterday as well.

14 and 17 find attractive, especially the camels in 14. In 17, Rebecca appears as beautiful as described in the Bible. In addition, the compositions of these two are quite dissimilar from the rest. In 31 the women all appear to be depictions of Pan, or demons after examining the structure of the faces carefully. Much under the surface going on, especially with the Medieval Italian artists.
