"Belladonna"(2020)

Oil painting done on a 24cmX30cm large panel. The frame is painted partially over.

As for the title, I chose to name it "Belladonna" since it seemed pretty fitting to me. Belladona(Atropa Belladonna) also known as the "Deadly nightshade", is a cherrylike fruit that was used by women during the renaissance era to enlarge their dark pupils simply as an ideal of beauty.

(This painting is the counterpart to "In sanguis veritas" & is part of the “Over the edge” series)
