Biffin's technique
Painted using her mouth? This source (https://artuk.org/discover/stories/sarah-biffin-the-celebrated-nineteenth-century-artist-born-without-arms-or-legs) says otherwise:

"Biffin's technique is also described by Edward Boys Ellman in Recollections of a Sussex Parson (1912). Ellman's cousin, Frances Sankey (later Mrs Ottaway), and his sister Catharine, both took lessons in miniature painting from Biffin while she was in Brighton in 1829. Ellman describes Biffin:

'... Her paint brush was pinned to a large puff sleeve which covered the short stump of the upper part of the arm. She fixed and removed the paint brush with her teeth, when necessary to wash the brush.'"146.198.148.152 (talk) 09:06, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Age at death
How can her age been 66 when she was born on October 25th 1784 and died on October 2nd 1850? Should be 65, if I can count correctly.--213.61.254.68 (talk) 09:46, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
