Who are you, broken-legged human?

Beautiful and thought-inspiring. I've been looking at many Hammershøi paintings for a few months, and many show his wife's head from behind:



I always find that emotional and thought provoking, as I do when I look at your image, Gianluca. And the title likewise. Mysterious and emotional. Please don't tell us the story behind it, so we are free to invent our own.

The story behind this image is... No, I won't.

Thank you. Rob, I'm not familiar with Hammershø, so thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I echo Rob's praise of the image. This photo is easy for me to take a Quick Look and move on ... but, (the big but), if one stops and examines image ... the image speaks.

I'm glad you find the image interesting, Gary. Thank you.

In the meanwhile someone else was catching me in her phone camera without my knowledge. Michael Powell's film ‘Peeping Tom’ comes to mind.

Helen: Now, what you are doing?
Mark: Photographing you photographing me.
Helen: Mark, you're brilliant!

But don't worry guys, in the end no one was murdered.

She positioned you well, between her sun and your shadow. I like it.

Thank you, the misty valley beyond ... the wispy clouds ... all significantly add to the many stories ... stories where the viewer fills in all the details.
