This beautiful postcard is of one of my favorite paintings from an Art Institute of Chicago exhibit called Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity back in 2013. The card is of a painting by French artist James Tissot (1836-1902) and is called July: specimen of a Portrait, c. 1878. This dress was featured in not one but two of the artists works on display at the exhibit. The original painting is located at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Postcrossing user, Anna, is still active, so hopefully this card is just taking its time getting to Kiev. Of course, over the past year since the upheaval of the Euromaidan protests and then the issues in Crimea and the rest of the eastern part of Ukraine, it seems that mail service getting to and from Ukraine has been a bit of an issue (quite understandably considering the situation!) I have high hopes that this card will arrive eventually.
This postcard is missing. Please check your mailbox.
