Some people only ever get one muse in their lifetime. This is your tenth? A lovely portrait. Enough said.

David,

Thank you very much for your visit. The title does not mean that she is muse # 10.

"The tenth Muse" term was created by Plato. The phrase has become a somewhat conventional compliment paid to female poets since. In Callimachus' "Aetia", the poet refers to Queen Berenice, wife of Ptolemy II, as a "Tenth Muse", dedicating both the 'Coma Berenikes' and the 'Victoria Berenikes' in Books III-IV.

I extended this term from poetry to the art of being and outstanding photo model. And Monika definitely is!

I would agree she is beautiful, very nice work Andrew.

Excellent, I like the high key edition. Congratulations.
