Headstrong Foolish Girl

This original, upcycled oil painting is inspired by the 2005 Pride and Prejudice. Not only is this moment cinematically beautiful, but I always watched it knowing how much the moment held, in both the book and on screen adaptations. Elizebeth has refused Mr. Collins. Although there's always a comedic element in this scene, this is a women refusing a man, a man who could also protect the family and bring security, and yet Lizzy is choosing herself, and her own happiness, somthing that was rare in those days and not what was expected of women.

 

This piece encapsulates the moment Elizabeth denies Mr. Collins, to escape to the sanctuary of her own thoughts and the freedom out the outdoors, a place that is always there for Lizzy in all her moods and feelings.

 

I loved that she is called a "headstrong foolish girl", we all need to be headstrong and foolish sometimes.

 

This piece comes in a beautiful, gold ornate frame.
