I don't remember any blonde with a kitten in the book.

The painting I found to be most pearl decadent is the one done by Franz Xaver Winterhalter of Tsarina Maria Aleksandrovna(1857). She is so decked out in pearls it's almost in bad taste, even for royalty.

I secretly want all her pearls though. There are strands of pearls(big ones)weaved into her hair and her necklaces are to die for.
