for several years <br />there is one figure in the painting <br />that he cannot really understand <br />it is the woman with a glass <br />she is somewhere <br />in the middle <br />surrounded by her friends <br />all men <br />it is very suggestive <br />of someone inside <br />and yet so detached from all of them <br /> <br />maybe she is someone so different <br />but how different <br />she answers ' i do not know' <br /> <br />but really i know, i know <br />but i will not tell her, she knows too i know.<br /><br />RIC S.
