Any chance the pose was slightly influenced by Ingres' "Louis Francois-Bertin"?
Thanks Rob, you are very kind. That Ingres portrait is one of my all time favorites. However much I would love to claim an influence of Ingres on this pose, the credit goes to the original studio photographer. I deleted the encyclopedic array of library cases packed full of law books which were distracting, from the original photo. So I guess the simple background is all I can relate to the portrait of Louis Francois-Bertin.
