This artwork belongs to a dyptich that symbolically evokes women and the frailty, the delicacy and the beauty they are usually associated with, especially in ancient times.
In fact, in the Roman times women were referred to as "levitas animi" which means "the lighness of the soul", due to the absence of political or social commitments.
The use of lace and the smoothness of draperie suggest the association to the feminine world, while the use of white highlights its purity.

Materials used:

cotton fabric, lace, plaster, resin
