The lack of stiffness in some of the expressions, especially of her family and of children. There’s a naturalness I don’t associate with the more formal set portraits or the mythological pieces. I love the little boy holding the dog’s paw rather than just sitting beside it. Of course major amounts of her work are fitting into the Spanish Court formality. But you get a grin from one of her sisters and it just stops you.
