This is Myrtle Corbin the "Four Legged Girl", and an idea I had for a painting of a "Four Legged Girl" performing a tap dance with the lesser developed legs. It seems like she would make more money, even though she made a great deal of money. Her family was well off due to her handicap. The parents were so happy with their daughters earnings that they were rumored to have had five more children trying for another "Four Legged Girl"...or boy...or hermaphrodite which would probably bring in the most money.
In my painting, "Four Legged Tap-dance", I picture the performer having a dress rehearsal by herself. Not quite comfortable with her developing talents.
