So often in old photographs and painting the subjects are not smiling. Thank you so much for joing me at Vintage Charm and hope to see you back this week.Sharon @ Blue Willow Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171466785015458506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615428925593226728.post-64806346815430638852016-02-05T09:08:55.216-08:002016-02-05T09:08:55.216-08:00I forgot to leave a name "Clementine".I forgot to leave a name "Clementine".Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650387539060227878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615428925593226728.post-1469392051004478972016-02-05T00:33:12.631-08:002016-02-05T00:33:12.631-08:00I love the new lady of the house!

I have a large Victorian lady in a round frame. I named her "Aunt Violia." My kids have had a lot of fun telling others she is their aunt and who I inherited all my antiques from. I do love your style..:) Betty@SouthernGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228521821272544610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615428925593226728.post-42481305624811944972016-02-04T06:39:13.950-08:002016-02-04T06:39:13.950-08:00I can see why you were enamored!

I've always wondered why in many of the old photographs seen in antique shops most of the adults and children aren't smiling and heard that one reason is because their teeth weren't in good condition; lots of decay and sometimes black. <br />Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!<br />Blessings,<br />CindyCindy @ Dwellings-The Heart of Your Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02897883854642097143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615428925593226728.post-78022083411234238082016-01-29T13:15:30.592-08:002016-01-29T13:15:30.592-08:00Wow!

Beautifully painted portrait. Am curious if this is a woman in mourning and since she has lace on her clothing she might be into two and a half years of mourning a loved one. Not sure. Still a gorgeous addition to your Parlour.

There is a slight gentlenesa about her but I think her life is pretty difficult so she doesn't smile openly.

Please let me know if you ever get a blog going and I'll leave comments there. :) Back then, at least for photographs, they didn't smile because of the length of time it took to take a photo that if they smiled or moved during the process their image would appear ghostly looking or smeared looking. Sarah is nice, thank you for your suggestion.
