Absolute beauty. The girl is wearing a white button up t-shirt that.. was not actually buttoned, but she had on a  white corset with patterns of silver on it. The layer being the only thing keeping the hemp clutched close to her body. She seems to be wearing nothing else underneath it, but then again the clothing seems long enough. Almost as if it's not her size.

She also had on silver heels. Surrounded by forests and butterflies. With classical styled beams in the background. Everything in this painting seems to fit in very well togeather. The nature themes and classical themes were all molded togeather in an impressionist -expressionist style.

That's what Santino has always admired about Angelo's artworks. The mixing togeather of different art techniques, still being able to bring out the beauty in the main subject.

She was in the spotlight, right in the middle of the painting yet not too much that she didn't blend in. That also being achieved by some of the butterflies in her hair, on her face, clothes and certain areas of her body. Not to forget the shine of her melanin skin, that was one of the things that caught his eye.

"Signor. Ermes!?"

Santino was drawn out of his concentration by none other than his right hand man, Mateo. He turned his body from the bench he sat on and looked at Mateo. As if a sign telling him to continue.

"Don I'm sorry to disturb but you have been here for quite a while. Va tutto bene?" [Is everything okay?]

Santino had not realised how long he has actually been in there for. He is shocked after checking his rolex watch, only to see that he has been staring at the paintings for a few hours. Except for the thirty minutes he was strolling around watching the other paintings.

", Mateo, everything is okay. I didn't realise I was in here for so long. It's just this painting... There's something about it. Something about this girl."
He said, whispering the last part.

Mateo looks at him with one raised eyebrow, as if indicating for him to go on. He kind of heard the last part, but figured maybe it was a mistake?

"Dimenticarlo." [forget about it]

Is all Santino can say. How do you explain this? Your sudden interest and fascination in someone who is just part of a painting. You've never even seen that person.

For all you could know she could be living in another country. She could be part of another mafia. What if she's not as beautiful? What if she's married? What if she has a kid, or kids? What if she's not even that nice of a person?
