The innocents, a local play finally opened and introduced some local actors. There have been many strange tales told about the portrait which hangs in the set of this show. Anonymity is maintained by the person that has owned this for a very long time. She was traveling down the street when the picture in a shop window caught her eye and for some reason, still unknown to the owner she parked her car, went into the shop, and bought the picture.
Thinking what exactly she was doing, she asked herself how she can possibly afford that portrait as she stood there while the clerk took it from the window. She remembered that her kids needed to buy clothes, schools and supplies for school time was around the corner. Thinking to herself, she will not buy this for even if it was so beautiful she could not afford it and she will tell that to the clerk. I just can't afford it, but as the clerk in the antique shop turned to put the picture back in the window she said in a very loud voice, I do want the picture, I can't afford it, but I'm going to buy it.
The lady, after paying and walking out of the antique store wondered how exactly she allowed herself to buy it when she could not even afford it, and how she was possibly going to explain to her husband as soon as he finds out about her ridiculous compulsion that made her buy that painting. Its subject was a Russian wolfhound known as a Borzoi, painted using oil as medium, and it was done in the 1800's or the early 1900's, perhaps. It would be a wonder to someone trained to be familiar with this Russian wolfhound's features, why the artist chose to depict the dog in almost a straight on pose, where only its head and shoulders are painted but nevertheless it was a beautiful picture. There is not even proper proportion between the chest and shoulders.
The fact that her eyes are trained to know what a Borzoi should look like exactly makes it seem weird as she bought this picture. When her husband arrived home that evening to find the picture hanging on the wall there was not the blow up of overspending the needed money for a portrait of a dog, instead there was the same strange attraction that she had felt.
There has been quite so many photographers, both experts and newbies taking photos of this painting but there was never an instance that two similar shots of it came out. It was a wonder for the befuddled owners how there would be times that on the Borzoi painting's right side, a silhouette, like a face would appear, then there would be stranger moments when the dog would seem flat then three dimensional all of a sudden, and then strange lights would appear, making it black and white at times, then color at other times.
One time, husband and wife were discussing about whether there was an entity that came along with the picture they had of the Borzoi hound, but then the husband insisted that there was nothing weird about it and they simply imagined too much and it was just light reflections playing with their minds. It was creepy how a large ceramic plate which hung on the wall fell to the ground but as they saw it, it was not broken and neither did it have a crack.
The couple readily agreed to have their portrait loaned to the producer director of the playhouse for his play, the innocents, which was about the supernatural after he heard so much about the portrait and thought that it would be s great add on to his production. We never truly found out who or what it is that moved into our home the day we got the portrait and perhaps you can help us with this as we lend this to you for your production, the Innocents, the couple told the producer. At least this their hope.
