This is oil on linen, 20" x 16", done from a 1920 sepia group shot.

I've had trouble with the blouse. I envision it as satin, however I'm having trouble since there is no reference. In the original picture there is a little sister's (great aunt of mine) head in the way.

I've improvised the background. This digital image also does not show good color.

I'd like your comments and direction please.
