This scene takes my breath away, she's just so beautiful! Something this picture about it reminds me of that old classic painting “Death of Marat” by Jacques-Louis David. It's somewhat melancholy and sad, but at the same time so very serene. The photographer of this scene has exquisitely captured the rich textures of that couch in the middle of such a gritty scene, lending it the shabby elegance of a faded grand dame. There are so many oppositions in there: colors and textures, warm and cold, home and street, inside and outside. It really captures the feel of New York City's Lower East Side.
