I just started reading Georgiana : Duchess of Devonshire. I discovered through a web search that the subject of a painting I have is the Duchess of Devonshire, who lived in the late 1700's. It's a chalk drawing that is supposedly over 100 years old.
My parents liked this drawing, because they thought it looked a bit like my mother.
Anyway, I like it too. I don't know for sure how authentic it is – one of these days I'd like to find out, but I'm not sure how.
