[my shot: taken Sept 28, Antwerp Cathedral]
This female street artist evokes a famous painting (the resemblance is really striking), in front of the Antwerp Cathedral.
There were no camera crews, no fake speeches about “peace”, “freedom” or other rhetoric. There was only solemn silence.
If you know the name of the painting, feel free to comment

First I thought it was the piétà of Michelangelo, but wasn’t it with a adult Jesus?
[Comment from the author: "Nobody seems to know for sure what painting she tries to evoke. Anyway, it's a classic 'mother-with-child' scene. Guess we will never know for sure."]
