Hope

A barefoot woman with auburn hair in a dark teal gown reaches upward toward a barred window, holding a branch of white blossoms in her other hand. Her pose and the golden panelled wall, with a pale sky beyond the grille, frame her against a richly patterned interior.

Español: Esperanza de Edward Burne-Jones, 1896

Una mujer descalza, de cabello castaño rojizo y vestido verde azulado oscuro, alza el brazo hacia una ventana enrejada mientras sostiene en la otra mano una rama de flores blancas. Su postura y la pared dorada con paneles, con un cielo pálido tras la reja, la enmarcan en un interior de rico diseño.
