Hortense Lopear's calm pose and posture shows that this is not her first time having her portrait taking. Hehehe. Her hat,roses and tea pot from story gives me an 18th century English vibe-ish.
I appreciate the art, Lucy Lopear's cousin looks timid and bold at the same time if must say.
I'm glad you got the 18th c English vibe ,definitely what I was going for :) I'm thinking of this character as a poorer but house proud village inhabitant (English Village) who has old things, but she keeps them neat as a pin.
Hmm.... imagination running wild.I like that you were able to bring all that to show in your work perfectly.
