Description

This woman, with her vibrant painted details, makes a gesture at once recognizable and yet mysterious. What does it mean? Is she a goddess accepting homage? A woman offering it? Or has she simply thrown up her hands and said "enough is enough!" Every viewer will read it slightly differently--only she knows the truth. - (PF.0504)
