Tim--

Yours is a good observation, and I'm sure her feet are really up under there somewhere, not at the extreme bottom of the skirt.

But Sargent would still really stretch 'em though, without hesitation. Look at the portrait of W. Graham Robertson, and also Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth.

But I digress.

Good painting to all--TE
