Wow, I had to zoom in to see that you weren't lying about it being a painting. Amazing work!

I love this and think it’s stunning.

I don’t know if there is a backstory, but I feel like her holding The Scarlet Letter and wearing red are saying she is in a similar position. If like Hester Prynne she has had an affair and become pregnant than the haphazard sweep of hair, the clutching of her wrist, and the weariness on her face with its midrange stare are all deftly showing the worry and strain from the weight of choices that must be made.
