Lady With Feathers in Her Hat, Mini Series
Lady with two feathers in her hat and Lady with four feathers in her hat. These paintings are from the Divorce mini-series of paintings. The two feathers in her hat imply that the woman in the painting can’t have it both ways or she can’t have the best of both worlds. This is very similar to the English proverb: You can’t have your cake and eat it. Four feathers in her hat perhaps means that she has a split personality or is actually holding out for the cake.
However, the placing of a feather in a hat has been a symbol of honour and achievement that has arisen in several cultures – as in the adage: A feather in one’s cap. Although the characters do not appear to be Native American, perhaps they have had some greater achievement other than making a fashion statement or a mating display dance to warrant more than one feather.
