She feels the pain, but suffers in silence. This drawing is intended to make the viewer observe her troubles, but also obtain reward from her strength and inner-beauty.
It's always impressive to see someone capture such deep expression in the human face; this is one of those pieces: her pinched features tell the story so well, though for me, I'm not certain if it is physical or emotional pain, or perhaps both... What you've also shown here, tho, is her deep and abiding faith: her hands, clasped together in what could be prayer or supplication...all around a very powerful and moving piece. Lovely work with the textures (I agree with there, too)--in her face, hands, cloak and hair... All just beautifully done!
