This piece was inspired by the paintings of women that were created during the Renaissance by the likes of Da Vinci and Ghirlandaio. Of course, if you happened to be female in the late 16th century Italy you had  very little rights and were the property of your father or husband. I have often wondered how many of these long silent women frozen in elaborate frames just wanted to scream, "FUCK OFF!"
