Just a fun fact I remember from a tour some time ago: Artist would draw the whole picture beforehand and just add the faces of kids afterwards. Kids could not hold still long enough for a whole session. That's why some faces of children look so out of place in old paintings.

I tried to fact check this information, but couldn't find any sources, but my memory from a visit in a museum
