bev most artists would have made a nomber of quick sketches of different
details prior to attacking the painting as a whole so not so difficult to
catch her holing a pin and the proceed to paint the portrait.

Then I wonder how long did she have to keep this pose in order for the
artist to capture it. The bobbins and other wooden objects are
carefully done. The facial features are less clear - would one of her
sisters have sat in, as required? Or if just one sitter, with this
being painted by natural light, possibly morning, how much time would
that have been available? So - several sittings required? (I
fictionalize...did the artist tell his sitter to 'do that thing you do
with your hands again' <g> ).
