What beautiful pictures! The young lady in light green looks particularly
exquisite.

I notice some of the gentlemen have moustaches or small beards. Is this correct
for the period? I once spent a year in Lausanne, Switzerland, where the local
patriotic hero, Major Davel, is always shown with a powdered wig and a small
moustache. I thought this odd, because I've never seen facial hair in 18th
century British portraits. Perhaps it was a Continental fashion?
