Women with Mandolins

Here is one of Ashley Lewis. #(It could be the same person that Mandodude posted on page 14 of this thread, or there is another Ashley Lewis who plays the mandolin.)

Here's one of my girlfriend (of course, in her words, "she doesn't look good...."). We actually had the Dawg autograph a copy of this photo, he giggled.

Alas, this is what goes on in her head when I'm playing the mandolin.

women and mandolins hhhmmmmm

here is Roselyn Lionheart

Hey I remember her and her husband playing out on the street in Jackson Square in New Orleans, La. in the late 80's when I was out there ... errr... basically panhandling on a street corner with a guitar in my 20's

I never knew her name though.

"is this a mandolin ? more lute like I think"

That´s an interesting instrument. Looks like a Milanese mandolin, but is larger. Maybe somebody more qualified in historical mandolins knows?

Is the detail of a painting? And by whom (looks like those pre-Raphaelite paintings to me)? Would be nice to see the whole picture.

The 1940s must have been good times for the mandolin. Bill picked up his Loar in 43, and many others picked up a 46 Esquire calendar with this Varga woman and her mandolin...
