I think when he doesn't want you to like someone, he'll play up the worst aspects of his sitter... like with his portraits of John Wilkes or Lord Lovat.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13039178599975546006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413278913234912816.post-7261003170900350562014-02-19T10:00:23.120+00:002014-02-19T10:00:23.120+00:00That sounds like a really interesting story.

She looks older than 22 in Hogarth's painting/engraving! I'd have put her at late 30s early 40s. But maybe that's down to a combination of hard work, poor diet and gin...and clothes tend to bulk people out and make them look older too. Of your illustrations, I think I like the first one best - the images and the text boxes fit together really well, and I like how you've focused on her hands and her rosary.Becca McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339982441409936532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413278913234912816.post-42168653245885020472012-08-05T17:01:38.420+01:002012-08-05T17:01:38.420+01:00amazon kindle and print.
