Not a quilt but sewing-related

And IMHO, absolutely stunning! Last night on "Antiques Roadshow", they went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art & looked at this picture. I love B & W photographs anyway, but this one just took my breath away. I really want a copy of this print for my sewing studio (which is done in B & W anyway). This is a picture (taken around 1920, I think) of Georgia O'Keefe's hands done as part of a series by her husband, Alfred Steiglitz. I believe the exact name of it is "Hands with Thimble". I know this copy is sort of sepia-tonied but the original looked to be B & W. Like I said, this isn't a quilt per se but I think it's appropriate for this thread. Do you love it or what?

I think I posted that picture upside-down. Actually, I think the print is flipped (the writing at the bottom looks backwards to me). Let's try this again.

Beautiful....I love black & white or sepia....coloured photographs don't seem to have as much depth somehow.
