Mary ,
Excuse the slow response to your question about reference photos of the children. It took many photos to arrive at the three used in the final painting. It was particularly difficult to get the rhe youngest to cooperate and yet the the best photo was the one of her used for this painting. I think her face alone would be a great painting.
I took more than a hundred pictures, changes to the background, and I stole the vase from Sargent's painting of the Boit girls.
