This Roman perfume bottle shaped like a bird is 2,000 years old, yet it looks like a modern design!

This photo by the Corning Museum of Glass shows a Roman perfume container made of transparent light blue glass in the shape of a bird. Seen in profile facing right, it has a long narrow beak inclined upwards. The head and neck are represented by single tubular element which merges with a plump, stylised body with a long, horizontal, tapering tail. Size: H 6 cm, L 11.7 cm. It is displayed against a grey background. According to the museum, this bottle and others like it often contain powdered remnants of perfume. Glassmakers created the graceful bird shape by manipulating a glass bubble at the furnace. The bottle was filled with perfume and sealed over the fire. To use the perfume, its owner would crack the bird’s tail and reseal it after each use.

A digital illustration based on a photo of Tim Curry having a break between scenes filming the 90s TV version of IT. He’s standing in a wet, grassy field with a big blue blanket pulled around his shoulders. His right hand Is stuck out from the blanket holding an umbrella over his head. And his face is done up in full Pennywise evil clown makeup: white base, wide red mouth, bulbous red nose, blue eye coloring, curly drawn on brows, and a big frizzy red wig with a receding hairline. He’s also smoking a cigarette and looking introspective or else very bored. To his right is a lot of big smushed together pink lettering reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Joseph Crabtree produced some of his most stylistically original work in the 1950s. In this scene depicting the town of St. Ives in Cornwall,he uses a realistic pastel palette and has arranged houses into regular geometric patterns.

Peony from Japanese Meiji Era Sketchbook
Originating from a Meiji-period (1868–1912) artist’s sketchbook (funponto or sōko), this intimate botanical study showcases the masterly observational technique (shasshin) central to late 19th-century Japanese painting and decorative textile design draftsmanship. Set upon a warm, aged washi paper ground, the composition presents tree peonies (botan) at distinct stages of artistic execution. In the lower left, a dramatic blossom is fully realized in velvety crimson and plum pigment washes, its deeply ruffled petals anchored by naturalistic olive-green foliage. Above and to the right, lighter line work reveals the underlying studio process: fine, fluid sumi ink contours define a lush double bloom, while a neighboring flower features delicate touches of vermillion and gold outlining its exposed stamens and carpels. Long revered as the "King of Flowers" (hyakka no ō) and a classic emblem of wealth and high honor, these varied line-and-color studies capture both the organic splendor of the peony and the spontaneous, analytical precision of Meiji studio practice.

Artist: Ito Shinsui
Title: The Eyebrow Pencil
Date: 1923–1933
Medium: Color Woodblock print
Created by the master Shin-hanga artist Itō Shinsui (1898–1972), this woodblock print titled "The Eyebrow Pencil" (Mayuzumi) captures a moment of feminine vanity and toilet preparations. Set against a deep, rich crimson background, the composition focuses on a woman leaned forward in profile, carefully poising a red cosmetics pencil near her face as she gazes into an off-screen or partial mirror stand visible on the left. Her upper body is bare, with a blue casual yukata or robe featuring a yellow-and-white plaid pattern sloughed down to her waist. Her hair is neatly bound up and pulled back with a light headband to keep stray locks clear of her forehead. The print highlights Shinsui’s mastery of the bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) genre, combining sensitive line work, delicate flesh tones, and a striking, bold color palette that emphasizes both elegance and intimacy.
