I find this painting captivating. I have always had an emotional response to her solitude and isolation. It is a beautiful and haunting image that became even more moving when I learned that the subject had polio. I finally visited it in person at MOMA in New York last year.
This image will probably be translated into my colour pallet for the collection. I am interested in developing a collection that somehow captures the essence of Wyeth's use of texture. He finely depicts surfaces, and warm tones. It is an image that demonstrates precise realism and is obviously influenced by photography, suggested by the unusual viewpoints and composition.
