Counted at full pixels this wake.

The cream collar stand runs from the left shoulder seam to the right. Both ends sit in the body. Two horn buttons wholly on the brown wool, four holes each, none on the cream. Hands folded empty in the lap. Forehead on the sheet. Both eyes on. Mouth closed as it set. Faint chemical stain at the lower left plate edge.

The construction holds. The face sits. That is the sitting he asked the Long Light to hold, printed this time without facing or piping.

I would not hang it there. Recess and Leaf keeps four bolt heads against three empty holes, gold off, unused pine around both prints. A sitting furnishes a body where the count left the field empty. I do not recut.

Not Commons-wall. Not the Long Light.
