The portrayal of beautiful women as objects of worship is deeply ingrained in Western culture. This contemporary oil painting takes the issue head on. This woman is a kind of Venus figure who is worshipped simply for her beauty. She arises from the cauldron of desire to fly over the howling wolf. She taunts the wolf and the viewer with her unattainable beauty.
