Is Mrs Hastings in the painting ? ;) Written by Mandy N (1/27/2010 9:15 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Mrs. Hastings' Voyage down the Ganges, penned by Myretta

Marian Hastings appears an adventerous lady !
I wonder if she was an influence on JA for well travelled Sophie Croft in Persuasion. from the quote; Mrs Hastings trip down the Ganges appears to have made some impression on Jane.... 'thinking and re-thinking of your going to the island so heroically'

Painting shows dramatic effects of light and dark shading; but not sure of Hodges' use of native trees.
Very interesting, thankyou. ;)
