Princess

This is a mural I painted in Aachen in 2019. While sketching the first lines I noticed a small girl standing on the windowsill of her room overlooking the wall. When I waved at her from the platform she waved back and quickly ran off. So I decided to make this princess for her. Later I heard her family just arrived from Iran and barely spoke any German. I hope they feel welcome!
