Could it be that the Duke wasn;t smiling and the painter took out the needle and that to make him laugh/smile?

Is it that the painter wasn't a good painter so he sewed parts of the painting with needle and thread?

Nope.

Technically, he COULD paint right then and there without the needle and thread, but the painting would look weird... *hinthint*

I know it, but...

Was the needle and thread used on the physical painting?

Did the Duke object to the use of the needle and thread?

Was he trying to make it look life-like/3D so he used the needle and thread along with paint to create this effect?

Nope, he had everything he needed to paint the duke... The answer has nothing to do with the painting itself.

Could it be that the duke had something that needed fixing and while the painter was painting a picture he could also fix the other thing?

I am guessing that its something on his head, but blackfire has answered head, so i am going to say that he needed a smile sewed on?

The silent cabbie

A london cab driver picked up a lady who was a notorious chatterbox. He did not want to engage in conversation, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb. He pointed to his mouth and ears to indicate he could neither speak nor hear. After she alighted, he pointed to the meter so that she could see how much she owed. She payed him and walked off. Then she realized the man could not be deaf or dumb. How did she know?

Is it because he couldn't have known where she wanted to go if he couldn't hear her?
