<p>[QUOTE="Clare, post: 3749574, member: 19110"]The portrait of the 'seated woman' is by my grandfather. I don't know who the woman is. I am wondering if the subject is one of Harold William's half-sisters, Pamela Howland Chalkley or Hilda Marcia Chalkley. I certainly recognize the sofa chair she is sitting in. My grandparents had chairs like that in their library ... tapestry-type upholstery in a sage-green botanical print. I was told that the woman at the typewritter is my lovely grandmother, Zora. My grandma had very dark hair as a young woman, but the woman in the portrait has light-colored hair. Maybe my grandpa just want to change the hair color. My grandparents had beautiful blue hydrangeas in their side yard, so it is interesting to see those large blue flowers in a vase by the woman. My cousin, Judy Chalkley, owns that portrait and I posted it on my Ancestry page, linked to my wonderful grandfather, Harold William.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
