Very much love the deep sense of duality in the portrait. The way the winsome witch tenderly, affectionately places her hand upon the skull as she reads, as if her gaunt cranial companion is an intimate and a lover, though also projecting a very decided feeling that her companion may well be in the current condition by her own doing. The Sorceress' sidelong expression which both says "So glad you could join us" while equally sending out evil signals that she shall see to it that we never do so again.
