Don't ask me how I came across a German book, I have no idea.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

I thought about using that painting. It's Charles Landelle's 'Jewish Girl in Tangiers'. But besides not having enough boob, she's way too pretty for my Jewish girl, and the dress is all wrong. Not that a little detail like that would stop me--I can Photo-shop with the best of them, and Titian, Boltraffio, Raphael, Vecchio, Caraveggio, et al painted some scrumptious dresses for my era.

Here'sthe link to one of the gazillion copies out there. 
As you can see, the background is different on Sultana--it's the Alhambra, of course. I did a quick check to see if it's the same as the painting I used for my cover background, but it's a different one. No surprise--there are paintings and paintings and paintings of the Alhambra. For that reason alone, it's a great place to set your novel!

They are different titles, one is for one of O'Brien's older romances, if I have it correctly. To the best of my knowledge that is for two different books, same author.

That's really lazy. And confusing for readers.
I found another couple of Norah Lofts books using the same model, different poses. At least it's not the exact same picture like the last two I found though.
