I don’t know why, but I am naturally drawn to this painting. To me, she seems to have emotionally checked out of reality by accepting terrible fate and is confused because she is in a position she has never experienced, so she is looking to someone or something for direction.
I think the shading on her face, eye, and hair is particularly impressive because it conveys her emotional disposition and is quite realistic. The artist must have had considerable experience with individuals going through severe hardships to be able to reproduce such a look.
Delacroix was an interesting artist. One of my absolute favorites, tied only perhaps with Manet or Degas. His relationship with Ingres was peak drama at the time, and is a point of historical intrigue, imho.
Her face reminds me of the hot fish from Shark Tale
EDIT: See, look
lol, I don’t see it, but maybe it’s the angle
It’s a shame she’s an orphan… but I would be her daddy
I think she’s hot too, but given her emotional disposition, being romantic seems like inadequate timing and creepy. Something feels off about that. It reminds me of Will Ferrell’s character in Wedding Crashers where he picks up women at funerals. It would probably be a more helpful idea to allow her to recover before coming in with those intentions at the least.
That’s why you gotta wear a fake moustache on the initial approach, strike out hard, and then slink away, remove the 'stache, and come back and be like, “So what’s the deal with that guy, right?”
And then you’re solid.
