I adore this picture. Little Frank's toes curling is the first thing I noticed. Then his chubby cheeks, and his beautiful gown. You cannot overlook his gorgeous mother, Sarah, and the simplicity of the top and skirt she is wearing.
Gentlemen, how long do you think it took to carve that beautiful chair? My girlfriend deals in antiques, and I bet she could get a pretty penny for that one.
And as simple as Sarah is dressed, when you look closely, you will see that she is wearing some beautiful jewelry.
I don't think she is very comfortable in this picture. She is siting straight up in the chair and holding Frank loosely. In the pictures that I have with my children, my arms are tightly wrapped around them - but then - it could be the difference in the times.
Thank you for sharing this absolutely gorgeous picture with us.
