  2. 🔓 "If you are naughty, you will get sent to the borstal!". Did anyone's parents say that to them when they were younger?

    A "borstal" was a type of young offenders' prison in the UK. Most of them closed down in the 1960s/70s.

    Similar to a penitentiary, the emphasis was on education rather than punishment. In reality, they were often violent and oppressive.

  3. "Self-Portrait with a Palette," Anna Bilińska-Bohdanowiczowa, 1887.

    Bilińska-Bohdanowiczowa (1854-93) was born to a Polish family in current-day Ukraine, and spent her childhood in Russia, learning drawing from instructors who were exiled from Moscow for their participation in the January Uprising.

    Moving to Warsaw with her mother and siblings, she studied at the Warsaw Conservatory and later studied in Paris, the first Polish woman to do so. She exhibited with success for multiple years at the Paris Salon and this painting won a silver medal at the Paris Universal Exposition. Sadly, she died young from a heart condition, a few months after marrying.

    This painting is one of her most famous; she depicts herself sitting and seemingly tired but satisfied, with mussed hair and a stained apron. Showing her personal fulfillment seems more important than being glamorous, it seems.

    Happy Portrait Monday!
