jeanjauthor: foxy-voxy: xfilesbaby: fleurdulys: The Irritating Gentleman - Berthold Woltze 1874 why does this communicate the universal mood we women experience so perfectly This is doubly annoying because she’s clearly in mourning; look at her clothes. those are mourning clothes. The way she clutches her handkerchief. The wetness of her eyes. She’s not a lark to the seaside, she’s traveling to or from a funeral. And this dandy fuckboy can’t look beyond his own nose and have some fucking respect. This is why I support artists. You can tell a story without any words at all. You don’t even need to title this piece “The Irritating Gentleman” and yet most 21st Century women will know exactly what this 19th Century woman endured on the day of that painting. -- source link
