Small Stone 1/14

The baby, butt-naked in all her cherubic beauty, lies on a blanket of fur. It's sepia toned, but color has been added, to rose her lips, to blush her cheeks, and to accentuate the gold band around her chubby thigh. The portrait was taken in 1917, and is the prelude to a lifetime's worth of divalicious photos of my grandmother.
