Girl seen from behind in an ornate frame

Neo-trad · Upper arm · Colour · Photo

A blonde girl in a blue dress with a white bow is shown from behind, one arm raised to her head, inside an oval black ornate frame. Two red roses and a white flower sit at the top and right of the frame, with a pale background behind the figure. Bold outlines and painted-style blocks of yellow, blue and red dominate the composition.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Sit down, you'll not get a cup of tea out of that machine, so you'll have to listen instead. Forty years I did nights at Harcombe, and the whole time there was a picture on the landing by the lifts that nobody could agree on. Oval frame, black and fancy like a funeral cake, and a girl in it with her back to you. Blue frock, yellow hair down to her waist, one hand up at her head as if she's just remembered something she left on the bus.

Sister Ruth Okonedo swore she'd seen the girl's hand move. Ward clerks said the roses changed colour depending on the weather. I never saw either, mind. What I saw was Mrs Pell, who came in on a Tuesday in February with a bag of wet knitting and stood in front of that frame for an hour, and I asked her what she was looking at. She said she was waiting for the girl to turn round so she could tell her the way out. "She's been facing the wrong door for years," Mrs Pell said. "Somebody ought to tell her it's the stairs, not the lift."

I thought that was daft, and I said so. Mrs Pell only nodded and walked off towards the lifts, and at six the next morning the cleaners found her asleep in the chair by the stairwell, perfectly well, holding a rose stalk she'd nicked from the flower trolley.

When they took the frame down for the refit in the spring, the back of the canvas had a line of pencil written on it in a neat hand. It said: turn left at the red door, then keep your hand on the wall. I have never been able to work out whose handwriting it was. I have, however, started taking the stairs.
