Mrs. Freake sitting meas she is domesticated/a wife/lower than John Freake.
Dark background to keep our focus on the partrait.
Had been x-ray-to show how the original partrait looks like before the add ons.
Baby Mary was the 8th child/she was added to replace the fan Mrs. Freake was holding-to document the last child the couple had before the death of Mr. Freake.
