Warrior Woman 11

“Her fragility was a mask,
She was ready for the battle!”
J. GIROUD
This is another work in my series of Warrior women. The two earlier versions are sold. It is a commentary on the various battles women face. We see a fragile woman in this image, but she has courage and strength to face life’s battles.
