To achieve that pose, the model must have been almost suspended by one arm. Even if the painter was very fast in sketching, or if there was photographic assistance -- I hope that the model got paid well -- I feel the pain everytime I look at the painting.</div><div><br></div><div>Ted</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Dec 3, 2023 at 1:43 PM Jonathan Goode via Lctg-others <<a href="mailto:lctg-others@lists.toku.us">lctg-others@lists.toku.us</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">
