Mother, Daughter and the Unknown

In another time  on a shore. A mother reaches for an unseen small child. The adolescent daughter  stares ahead  with anxiety, watched by a shoreline gull. Before the scene is the pale head of the Unknown, who became an icon  - the drowned beauty discovered in the Seine.
