    After taking care of the bear single-handed, dispatching her hated rich older sister would be child’s play.

    The bear rug looks like it came from Build a Bear.

    Agnes had practice making black look good – she was a professional widow.The pearl necklace was from husband number two, the bear skin rug (and the rest of the house was from #3). Now she just needed a nice Lexus…

    You’re the artist, but I really wanted to go with the all-black theme. Are you sure this outfit needs “a pop of white”?

    They called her the Lady in Black/ she survived a grizzly attack/ but all were aghast/ when her looks were surpassed/ by her maid, with the ravishing “rack”.

    If Madam would please sit up straight, we’ll just maneuver this cotton wadding into the proper position under the corset.

    Jane’s insistence that she do Mildred’s makeup in dim light kept Mildred from attending any daylight functions lest she be confused with a two dollar hooker.

    Mildred loved nothing better than sitting on her Teddy Bear skin rug and having Marcia fondle her pearls…

    Once they were past the exhilaration of fastening the necklace, it would be time to admonish the servants, then work at their needlepoint.

    The String of Pearls

    has info and links that point to more info about this painting.

     

    https://www.geschichtewiki.wien.gv.at/Ferdinand_Axmann 

    has sparse German info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL, which indirectly points to his German Wikipedia page:

    (again, Google Chrome can automatically translate as necessay). First work by him used here.

    Before women were able to date whomever they wished, it was necessary to send subtle signals through portraiture. In this case, most admirers would immediately recognize the ‘come on pearls’ and the ‘tightly closed fan’ as opposing messages.
