fun art history fact: portraitists used to charge not only by number of figures and whether it was a bust or full-length portrait, but also by how manyhands appeared in the picture.
#attention: artists doing commissions #look what you have historical precedent to do #that’s why you get those bust portraits with the hands lifted to be visible #it’s a blatant ‘oh look who spent more money on this selfie!!! ME!!! COUNTESS SO AND SO!!!! I AM SUPER RICH!!!!!’
