I had noticed that a few years ago when I started keeping images, and I've only
once come across a portrait that showed someone wearing a ring on that
finger... and sadly forgot to save the image off so I don't have it. If anyone
knows of any contemporary portrait that shows someone wearing a ring on their
middle finger, do let me know.
And thanks for the book note, as I've not read it before.
