Jane Burden Morris In Ceramic (again!)

I'm doing another Jane, fixing the defects I found in her previous ceramic incarnation. She's much better now, and I have started the fine finish. I worked a bit more on the eyes as I found them a teensy bit too deep-set, I brought them out about 1 mm. Small changes make big differences in portraiture! I also evened out the nostrils, the hair and eyebrows.

A sketch of Fanny Cornforth (which with I am immensely disatisfied).

In old age, Jane retained much of her beauty. This is her again with her daughter May on the left, and Jenny on the right. They are photographed sitting in the garden at Kelmscott Manor.
