Good point, Allan, and something I hadn't noticed. But whether or not Carol meant to make that change, I think it works a lot better that way. I prefer his not being so slouched over; there's more grace in his pose the way she painted it. Serendipity, perhaps. Or an unconscious effort to portray him sitting up straighter because he looks nicer like that.
