[QUOTE="Debora, post: 11529421, member: 1476"]She's what in the UK would be considered from the Georgian era. Her hairdo is called a hedgehog and she's wearing a stomacher with buttons (aka a [I]compere[/I].) Painted in the naive style which makes one think yours is a provincial work and the sitter wouldn't have been the first to adopt those fashions. She's very charming but... Interesting that at some point the frame was considered to have more value as it was removed and reused or sold. Debora[/QUOTE]
