Heeey so someone just reblogged your post about the Flinthamiltons portrait and I wanted to say, first, that that’s a really lovely idea and I adore the sense of mystery that remains at the end. Second, (and don’t take this the wrong way?) that realism in painting is a late-19th-century thing. Didn’t exist before. And in the early 18th century, you’d have had a VERY hard time finding a female painter, least of all one who took money for her work. I get why you made it a woman, but :)
