Lady Agnew of Locknaw- Friday Art

This is such a beautiful portrait. The story behind it makes it even more fascinating. Read here.
Notice how the symmetry of her face makes the picture look so much more enchanting- if you try covering up half of her face with a piece of paper, what do you see? Now, try the other side, what does her expression say? If you read more about her you might come up with your own idea.
Laura thought one side of her face said she was trying to be still but not wanting to, and the other side of her face said she wanted to laugh but couldn't.
What do you think?


This is Audrey's reproduction...
