Leonardo Da Vinci – Mona Lisa (1503-1506)

I want to break free. I feel so claustrophobic in this life. Etiquette, high society, being a ‘lady’. It’s like I’m stuck in a bad dream and I can’t wake up. Who’s going to save me? Who’s gonna help me? People think I’m privileged. Silver spoon and all.
I’m a prisoner.

Somebody save me.

Is she smiling? Is she not? What’s going through her mind? You never know what exactly is going through a person’s mind. What’s they’ve been through, what they’ve seen. She might be smiling at Leo, trying to win his affection. Then again, she might be putting on a brave face because her husband is cheating on her with her best friend.
