In Henry James' "The Portrait of a Lady," the main character, a young, beautiful, and intelligent American woman, carefully considers her life options. At the end of the 19th century, these options are quite limited, primarily revolving around a good marriage. However, our heroine is in no hurry. She wants to explore the world, meet people, and, above all, understand herself. Hanna Krzysztofiak's new series is an intricate portrait of a modern lady. Though contemporary, she is also a painter. She can play the piano, experience bouts of hysteria, and feel delight quite often. True to a real lady, she has a horse. This horse is not entirely a horse; it symbolizes her creative force – wild, somewhat clumsy, sometimes victorious, sometimes destructive. This horse shamelessly loves beauty, detests shoddiness and bureaucracy, and is easily startled but always returns. It is extremely important to the lady. This story, or rather a portrait, recounts the horse's escapes and their shared or separate adventures.
