Soul in bondage

When I made this postcard, there was a small problem. I could not use the title of the painting without having to raise the age limit of my Zazzle account.

But, as you understand, this is a very metaphysical picture. The soul is depicted as a winged creature, for the moment prevented to take flight. A very beautiful picture and symbolism, I think.

The image file is quite large, would also make a fine poster.
