A large-scale wheatpaste artwork applied to a metal utility door, depicting a parody of Leonardo da Vinci's 'Lady with an Ermine'. The central figure is shown holding a large head of lettuce instead of the traditional ermine, set against a vibrant yellow wall.. Subject: A Renaissance-style portrait of a woman holding a head of lettuce.. Style: classical parody. Details: The artwork features significant weathering and peeling at the top. It has been modified with hand-drawn graffiti including an anarchy symbol and the word 'TABOO'.. Shape: rectangular. Setting: urban exterior. Surface: metal utility door embedded in a stucco wall. Colors: #E8C461 (Ochre), #2E2E2E (Charcoal), #7A90A4 (Slate Blue), #889C71 (Sage Green), #7B3625 (Russet). Composition: centered, eye-level frontal shot. This work is a form of 'culture jamming' that subverts high-art iconography to create a surreal and humorous contrast. By replacing the symbol of purity and nobility (the ermine) with a common vegetable, the artist bridges the gap between the elite art world and everyday urban life. The addition of anarchist tagging suggests a rejection of traditional art hierarchies and institutional control.
