This painting is part of a series of nineteenth-century portraits whose faces Markus Schinwald has retouched. By adding masks, veils, nets, and bandages without the figures seeming to suffer, these prostheses constrain, cut off speech, blind or, as is the case here with a few bubbles, isolate this Rose from immediate reality. The artist buys these portraits at auction or on eBay, restores them, modifies them, and then refines them with an expert touch, completing the transformation of the strange into the familiar.
