Fun to go back through old picture files on my computer. This one is years and years back, over 20 I think! Jack's sister found these at a flea market somewhere and I had to have them! I did not have an old one to look at and paint from, it was before Google images, so I did not not know they should have had smaller black eyes. I used nice early chintz for the bodice on one of them, and a piece of very early red print we had bought from dealer Don Ladd in CT. Look at that delicate sewing basket beside them! The handwork on the bonnet was incredible! Ex collection Felicia Sessums. Antiques have such stories, they lead us often down happy memory trails. Barbara Ladd I hope you are reading! Love, Edyth
