Probably the most vital part of this painting is the fact she’s clearly in mourning, either a husband or a family member and this guy pays no heed to her plight and instead attempts to flirt. Truly one of the foundational pieces of art that conveys sexism in action.
as a tboy who presents hyperfemme, i dont blame people for misgendering me especially because of my presentation, but if i correct them and they still continue to misgender me then that's on purpose and they're transphobic. sorry :p
