Another Maria Yugina masterpiece!
Queen of Hearts

Following up on the blog article about Maria Yugina’s amazing paintings, the above was posted today on Maria’s FaceBook page. “ Men’s wisdom: ‘When the queen comes so close to your heart, resistance is pointless!’ ” So correct! Another way of saying the same thing: “Checkmate!”

Do you see the Queen sacrifice of White on the chess board? Mate is forced. I also like the expression on the woman’s face: is it indifference maybe? “E voila!”
