Bouguereau would have made a separate drawing of each (as did N. Rockwell) and move the cartoons until the intersections work.
This is an excellent point, Tim. It sounds like how Peggy Baumgaertner worked out the composition for "Lyn".

It seems to be the only way to really see what's happening, and how the eye will travel through the painting, although there are artists who can work out these issues in preliminary thumbnails.
