Virgin with Self Portrait

This is one of my gallery works. I gave it the ambiguous title of "Virgin With Self-Portrait." Is it Mary?  Maybe. In it a teenager is seen who wears modern clothes.  It is a double portrait.  We see my version of her and her version of herself.  It is made in pastels and gouache. The girl who posed for it is named Stella, so I covered the wall behind her with stars.
