At first sight, it seems that the woman in this portrait is an isolated person and confined in a space, in a corner. By the way, to me the most wonderful thing in portraits is eyes "fixed nowhere", that has got lots of magic. As I said, the woman seems confined to a corner, isolated from the world ... in principle, it would be negative, but a more interesting second interpretation leads me to believe that the iron railing is not an impediment that limits her, on the contrary ... it could also be considered a guardrail. Is the world outside pleasant or harmful ?, attractive or tasteless and false? ... A dilemma, two opposite sides, two sides of the coin, too. Does she feel excluded in a railed room? Or happily protected in her privacy? Everything depends on how much we may need of others and of life in general, and the secret of happiness is ... well ... is to need "very little", only mediocrity needs a varnish layer to shine brightly. Can't stop wind blowing in my sails. Can't stop discovering new things everyday and feeling happy and alive!.
I hope you like this dual meaning reality portrayed. Many kisses.
