Three stages in life, symbolised by charcoal drawings.
Henrietta Abel Smith is great at collecting and replicating the expressions from the models she draws.
I am sure there are more than three stages of life. From the drawings on her social media these happened to be the three age groups I found, so that is how the title came to be.
Great portraits with running emotions paused to be immortalised in Smith's art. A chance to go through them and imagine what the muses where thinking about, at the moment their image was lifted and transferred to paper...
Ps. I gave the images some titles.
A collection of memories and life lessons.

I agree, so much to read into those features. Abel Smith did an amazing job with all of the portraits.
