Isn't that the painting in which Wagner said that he looked like a Protestant priest?

Have no idea. I didn't even know Renoir painted his portrait until I saw it online s few days ago.

Dare I say:  Renoir definitely not  at his best...

Did he?  There are no Protestant priest except some Anglican clergy -- but then they aren't real Protestants.

I read it from somewhere - possibly from some biography about Wagner.

Lana Turner

Is she checking the straightness of the seams on her stockings or if her slip were showing?
(So much to be self-conscious about back then...)

Lana Turner

When I first looked at this I thought it was part of an advertisement for Max Factor products, because there was a  period when drawing a seam on their legs was an option for a woman who couldn't get stockings. More exactly, Max Factor made a little machine that women could buy which applied the line straighter than they could free hand. But I'm wrong, because this photo appears to be from an later era. And it looks like a photojourno shot anyway.

e: and Lana Turner did a lot of ad stuff for Max Factor.
