Exquisite imagery.
They don’t make ’em like they used to. That coat – Is it a heavy wool? What is the collar – fur? Details of the coat fastener fascinate me.
A single strand of pearls.
A woolen felt hat, perhaps. I can’t place the texture.
Have you ever wondered if you should have been born in a different era?
What catches your eye first? Her classic beauty, the direct gaze. One hand draped in a relaxed state while the other shaped as a relaxed fist. Feet somewhere between first and second position. Is the background a painted backdrop with a real, high-back chair?
I look forward to learning more about this woman and her connection to the family. She may have married a Corman and her maiden name Rhorer is listed among the earliest settlers of the county from the Morovian community, the United Brethren. The 1920 US Census shows her family lived near the Corman siblings enclave south of Nicholasville, Jessamine Co, KY. The Rhorer family cemetery is near the Corman family cemetery on Bethel Pike.
