Description:

Interestingly, this painting is truly a conversation piece that seems to inspire an unfathomable range of interpretations... from stories of unrequited love to biblical references.

Seriously! A Google search confirmed that, according to some religious interpretations, the "impurity" of menstruation functions as a metaphor for sin and punishment. (What?!!)

So, I won't pontificate here. (pun intended, of course)

Although, I will give you this much; as an emotional projection, the subject here is technically yours truly... wearing my wounds, among unpicked flowers.
