Enigma

'Image by unknown artist':-
Could you be unattributed
Goya, Picasso, Dali; a copy
By an admirer/understudy?
World weary right eye,
More optimistic left eye;
Heart shaped visage,
Prominent forehead,
Sculpted eyebrows,
Neat nose and ear lobes –
Half smile or wry grimace?
Why two black marks
By hair scalp? Curious!
Gold addition of value
To modest dress outfit.
Finished face/half done
Appearance of surrounds,
'Dirty protest' of rough
Paint splatters and strokes;
All in all, an enigma.
