Sorry again -- @Judaline if you click on it, you can see it much larger from the gallery where it was on loan in Australia.  It lives in Scotland and like most of his work it's huge.

Sorry, o/t to @Judaline:

I look at his portraits and I want to be those women!  Then I remember they had no indoor plumbing, no toilets or showers, I wonder how they got clean and imagine they must all have smelled terrible.
