The picture that is being used of Aunt Jemima is a picture where she has a white bandana over her hair and her face in the picture is of her with a very big smile.

Her clothing drapes in such a way that it seems to cling to her body. Giotto emphasizes this by creatively outlining the bosom of Mary with the silk drapery.

That’s a pretty cute and vivid picture right? Now what if little girls who are barely 5 years old could now wear high heels, cake on pounds of make-up, plaster on fake eyelashes, and wear the brightest shade of red lipstick as possible?
