The final major element that was missing were her lips. Because she had no side teeth, her cheeks were sunken and that would also draw the mouth inward. In addition, she had a very small jaw and not a lot of space from the center of her lips to the bottom of her nose. All in all, this would indicate fairly thin and drawn lips. Usually the ends of the lips follow a line dropped down from the center of the eyes. I added wrinkles that would be appropriate to her age and health condition, applied some texture to her skin, and gave her some hair based on the hairstyles of the era.
