December 28, 2009 6:43am A very appropriate title to a beautiful, but ambiguous image. Various signs strike the viewer as coy: the closed pose (especially of the legs); the drawing back into the chair; and the turned-away expression, partially screened by the hair. However, other signs imply that this shyness might be overcome very soon: particularly the soft, sensual lighting; the slightly parted lips; the bared shoulders; and above all the subtle yet seductive gestures of her hands, seemingly caressing her legs while gradually compromising the modesty of her skirt ... Perchance indeed.
