I think this'll be a very stimulating painting.

Why did you choose this image?

I was intrigued with it, the light also on the child in bed

Thanks. Your eyes are as sharp as the eagle's. I would like to know more. Please give me some words that come to your mind about this picture.

morning light - what story - 19th sick females - stuffy atmosphere - shy girl?

Are you sure about 19th sick females ?

ooh yes, definitely sure. a recurring theme. a world view. but then this is also childhood memory of being cared at home. delights of story-telling.
