The Duchess

Part 4 of 'The Alice Series' is The Duchess. This is from Chapter 6, 'Pig and Pepper,' where Alice finds the Duchess, the cheshire cat, the cook and a baby who turns into a pig. The cook throws dishes around the room and is cooking with so much pepper that everyone is frequently sneezing. I love how calm the characters are described in this scene/situation in the book and I wanted to play around with the idea of having this family-style portrait in the midst of all this craziness.
