Ethel Rosenberg 1943

Ethel was executed in 1953…she was innocent…she was at the eye of the storm of Mccarthyism….an icon…this drawing is taken from a rare photo of her during WW2..I love her look of determination and bravery…and the fact that the profile shot is portent of her looking bloated and stressed in her horrible, pitiless mugshot a decade later…her children have rightly been tireless in their efforts to have her rightfully exonerated…a great shame Obama got close but ultimately didn’t have the balls to do it…or stand up to Assad either, for that matter
