Girl with Pensive Eyes

When I asked my friends to help me title this painting, they recommended several similar words: pensive, wary, forlorn, uncertain, apprehensive, contemplative, and observant. I see all these emotions in this young girl’s eyes. Perhaps, she’s thinking about her future with trepidation or is unsettled about an incident. Either way, her eyes draw you in to wonder.

“Somehow I cannot help being reminded of a frail, consumptive girl, at whom one sometimes looks with compassion, sometimes with sympathetic love, whom sometimes one simply does not notice; though suddenly in one instant she becomes, as though by chance, inexplicably lovely and exquisite, and, impressed and intoxicated, one cannot help asking oneself what power made those sad, pensive eyes flash with such fire?”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, White Nights
