this is a environmental portrait giving off the depressing effect of the lady on her death bed. She is about to die and it is a very sad moment in this persons life. The lighting is a natural coming from the window and reflecting off of the white blanket.
i read about 15 min. and i found a really great poem that i liked called justice.
Justice
That Justice is a blind goddessIs a thing to which we black are wise:Her bandage hides two festering soresThat once perhaps were eyes.
Langston Hughes
