| the girl who always watches |
The painting is somewhat discredited, because it looks one hundred percent like her, how do I know? Members of my family and others out there, that saw her in their time, the real her, were more than sure that it was the girl from the painting.
They looked at the painting and said yes, that's her. It was no singular person, it was before we learned about each other. There were more, over the world, who realized that, when the painting started being famous. At first it was a deja-vu, then it was a question, then a mystery, and today is an obsession. That is how we know how she looks like, but in the same time, we cannot be sure, because that painting has a name and it is of a historical person.
Needless to say, a painting is not very descriptive either. This is a double edged knife.
The painting in question is the famous portrait of nobody else than Erzebeth (Elizabeth) Bathory. Yes, the infamous blood countess.
However, that painting has never been proven to be actually of her, it is just a presumption, which we think is wrong.
The painting has been more often (not online, but in actual history books) been attributed to one of Elizabeth's daughters, Anna Bathory, or Anna Nadasdy-Bathory.
But how could that be? How could a person known to be born in 1585 and supposedly deceased in 1616 still be among us, today?
It is a mystery. That is the mystery. The mystery of the timeless girl.
Who she actually is? Do you know? Have you seen her?
Have you even heard about the timeless girl?
