I would definately want her clothed and I wasn't sure how to state her
position.  By "affronty" I am taking your meaning to be "facing forward"
which is what I meant. Do I have to specify if she is wearing ....say a
houplande or Tudor or something like that?  Tincture I get.

I would prefer, should I use this one or something similar, for her to be
older.  Perhaps not ancient, but definately not a spring chicken either.
Again, thanks for your opinions and your help.
