'Maud, Standing' (1909, Howard Mansfield (1849-1938)). 7
In the early states of this etching, Maud Franklin (1857- ca 1941) wore a 'flounced tippet' around her shoulders. However, in later states this was replaced with a fur tippet. The alternative title, and that generally accepted, is 'Maud, Standing'.
