William Mainwaring Palin (1862-1947) painted this apparently rather short-sighted lady. Or perhaps she's gone into a dream and let the book fall onto her knee while she muses on her lover, or what she's going to cook for lunch. Or perhaps the painter thought it was an attractive pose. I wonder if he was an ancestor of Michael Palin?
