Dusty Rose in Paintings, or the Lady in Pink

An incredible number of pink shades exists! And what interesting names are given to different shades of that color! Here, for example:

It is pink that is a truly considered as the feminine color. Starting with delicate pale pink flowers that are associated with innocence, purity, romance, kindness and naivety, and ending with bright Fuschia of peony and cyclamen.

It seems that its popularity has become a manifest in recent years. Multiple use in clothing and accessories, interiors and cosmetics. For several years, it's always on catwalks and the pages of magazines. In all ages, ladies used the Dusty rose colour in their outfits.

Here's a small collection of paintings by artists of different times I selected in the Net. I hope you'll enjoy the air of romanticism here ;)
