Technique: Watercolour
This miniature is about three groups of people. The first group of people is in a society with freedom, which they use as a gift from God for everyone. This group is represented as a woman with a bird taking flight from her head. The second group has the same freedom, but they do not use it; this group is shown on the left side of the painting in the form of a woman with a bird sitting on her head. The third group is shown on the right-hand side, in the form of a woman’s head with a dead bird on it. This latter group is a society which lacks freedom; under the woman’s face is a small bird shouting for freedom. Freedom is a natural right; if any government deprives people of this right, sooner or later the society will take it back.
