Original artwork description:

In this work I have taken as my reference the work of Francesco Hayez, born in Venice on 1791. In this reworking of the painting Accusa Segreta of 1848, we see a sensual young woman in the foreground, wearing an impalpable black veil to reinforce the air of mystery. The seductive image of this woman with generous cleavage is tormented by a dual feeling of love and hatred towards the lover who betrayed her. The woman is torn between the feeling of hatred and the love she still feels despite everything. So she decides to take revenge. In her right hand she holds a letter with which she accuses her lover, an anonymous letter, she only holds it with two fingers, as if she does not even want to look at it and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible.
