My diploma work in the Academy of Arts for the title - a specialist in painting (3/3)

Hi everybody!
I'm happy to finish thestory about painting my diploma in the Academy of Arts.

Briefly go through the symbols that were used in the picture. The main character is a girl dressed in an evening dress, she is without shoes, her gaze is turned to the viewer. On her right hand is a glove, a second glove on the floor. The second main character is a man sitting at a table. He represents the serpent tempter. With one eye he looks at the girl, the other at the viewer.

Between the man and the girl there is a third character with a pipe that blocks the way for the man. "And the angels will sound ..." - said the head of my diploma. An elderly person sits in the left corner, as an allegory of lost youth. Above him, the girl's head is hope. In the background, the head of a dancing person - drowning in the fog of everyday passions.

And, as we say - "A good diploma is painted the night before the defense of the diploma. Bad in the morning of defense." I painted for the night. At this time the explanatory note to my diploma was written by friends. In the morning I exchanged shirts with a friend in order not to defend myself in dirty clothes. His shirt was 3 sizes larger. My shirt was tight for him. So I was successfully defended with my diploma. Since then, 15 years have passed.

Thank you for your attention and I will be glad to hear your comments)
