I wonder what the story is behind her expression….
Is she bored? forlorn? disinterested? hopeless?
Maybe some music will help.
Thanks for Visiting 🙂

I love the painting and the music. I think her expression says, “Oh, come on. I know what is really going on here.”

Yes, she is stuck unwillingly in this aristocracy, but not buying into it. I wouldn’t be surprised if she ran off to some alternate lifestyle.

The music you chose is appropriate for the sitter’s mysterious expression. When I came to Austin in 1976 and for some years thereafter, classical music radio station KMFA wasn’t on the air full-time. The station signed off late at night and signed back on in the early morning by playing “Les Barricades mystérieuses” as its theme song.

Perhaps so…I am assuming this was a paid commission. That the artist captured this discontent is interesting to me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Rob. 🙂
