Ah, now I see!
Steven, I so appreciate your comments. Your perspective and knowledge is one I truly value.
We did do some outdoor photos just to loosen her up, but the overall desired look was not achieved. Luckily the model doesn't mind getting dressed up and having her photo taken, maybe the third time's the charm. This is a painting for classic technique and not one for commission, so I'm not as stressed as if I were being paid.
How did the subjects of the 18th century accomplish such a look of repose in children?
