This self-portrait examines feelings of hope and altruism in the gaze portrayed by the subject. The floral motifs in the fabric are symbolic of springtime, but her posture feels slightly odd as she sits stuck within the frame. The portrait of the artist stares wide-eyed upwards towards something outside the viewer’s range. Dusting presents this painting with a question, what does she search for?
