Is the woman wearing a cast on her arm? That has to be a first for an oldie in this forum, what? :D

Cheers,
China

Hi China,

Do you know I had never noticed it before but it certainly looks like one. Did they have casts in those days ? They were a wealthy family so would have been able to afford one will have to post this round the family.

And thanks to genechaser for cleaning it up.

I don't think that it is a plaster cast , It's just an undergarment same as the othere ladies have.

You could be right it is just that it comes right down over her hand to the top of her finger, where on the others it comes down to their wrists.

If it's an undershirt, how come she isn't wearing the same thing on her other arm, then?

Plaster of Paris casts date back to about the 1850s.

I think it really is a cast, it's much too thick for a sleeve, and maybe a spaniel puppy? Or a kitten ;D

Cheers,

Hi
  Another one of my efforts  really enjoying this  I hope I am not getting addicted :D


The lady in black  has like a plaster cast  on her arm and kitten on her knee.

She also looks like she could be in mourning in her all black outfit

I really enjoyed colouring this one they look a grand family.
