Turn-of-the-century, beautiful ladies

Gouche medium. In French, "Elégantes sur la Plage." Also from the book that I call Art Nouveau Bing.

Ladies on a Beach by Georges de Feure (1900)

This reminds me a lot of the work by Yoshitaka Amano... who did the character designs for the Final Fantasy video games, I believe, as well as... was it called The Sandman? -- written by Neil Gaiman? 

These women look like they just came waltzing out of the sea, onto the beach... It's so magical, like some kind of strange dream...
