Oh, thank God, I was worried it was going to be something heartbreaking, like the painting was commissioned after the little girl had tragically died from scarlet fever or some such. Everything's fine.
If you make fun of people while poor, you are called an asshole and likely put in prison for targetingthe wrong person, doing the same shit while being wealthy, you are called a "satirical poet".
People didn't always have to pose for a long time. A common technique would be to do a quick sketch or series of sketches and then doing the final painting without the subject.

Perhaps I can save someone else the time of doing a reverse image search:
This portrait is showing English poet Christopher Anstey with his daughter Mary Ann and was painted by William Hoare, circa 1776. It‘s on display in room 18 on floor 3 at London‘s National Portrait Gallery.

She died in 1829 at the age of 66, a ripe old age back then!

Best thing to happen in 1776.

So glad they all have 5 fingers on their hands.

The doll only has three fingers, clearly AI generated /s

OK. Nothing wrong with AI generated dolls.
Unless.... hmm... if the doll itself has built-in AI, and is now generating lots and lots more such dolls...

It's a lot of work to go through just to show your teenager's friends embarrassing pictures of her, but it's worth it!

Poet and satirist Christopher Anstey and his daughter

Satirist?
Yes, he defiantly gives 'straight man' vibes in that picture.

This is a really stupid question, but did the man and his daughter pose like that for hours?

It is quite easy to fill in the details from a smartphone photo after all.

Thank you!

I would guess that they posed in a normal upright position. The artist could have turned the canvas a little.

Nice picture, morning.
