Apparently a young lady here, who wanted in the future to remember how she looked when she was young. Her youthful beauty is captured forever and unlike a lifetime of gradual forming wrinkles she will be youthful til the end of time. In comparison to that in reality, as we all know, hair gets thinner, eyes are not as bright perhaps, teeth will not necessarily have that prime condition. In the portrait everything is light and sunshine-yellow bright, and soft brushstrokes render this portrait in celebration of a young person. Our very own mystery guest.
