Schweinfurth's upper gallery has an exhibit from the Cayuga Historical Museum of 200 years of Cayuga's history. Among the portraits was this double. The term "an arm and a leg" for something costly came from pricing paintings, where more shown cost more to paint. Thus, a pricy double.
Thanks for the language tidbit! An arm and a leg...
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked that. I had to edit the description, but you can see the difference between head and head/torso, etc.
