Keep in mind the sheer precision of Delilah's ritual:

- She had to obtain a lock of Emily's hair and make a paintbrush out of it

- She had to create the canvas using the same loom that spun Emily's clothes

- While "borrowing" the Dressmaker's loom, she had to carve sigils into the walls; this act resulted in the creation of a rune

I'm noticing an odd trend in which some commentators think that Delilah can just posses anyone she paints a portrait of, despite requiring a lot of preparation just for Emily's ritual. Yes, Daud can hijack the ritual and send her into a different painting. However, Daud isn't concerned with getting the ritual right: he's intentionally trying to perform a botched ritual. Maybe if Delilah didn't get the steps right, she could have imprisoned herself in one of Emily's limbs (yay body horror!), in Emily's clothing, or even in the otherwise perfectly normal portrait of Emily.
