Oil Painting of Adelaide, a shoeless child, photographed in 1901 or so. She asked to be photographed with her boots off because she was embarrassed that they were so tattered. She is a bit soiled. She is in the streets of London in the Edwardian (Dicken's) Era. The photograph reference is black and white but in this painting it is imagined that the child has red hair and her dress and shawl are as of yet undetermined color but probably dark.
