The stunning beauty in such a young woman, with all of the promises and hopes and dreams, urged me to see the best in humanity, contrasted by the very worst in any individual who would seek to enslave another.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis painting is not a “portrait,” but rather, a study in the human condition.
