What's up with the left girl?

Maybe.. But I prefer Cyndi Lauper.

That was a joke... I don't know what Madona painted.

A Madonna is an artistic representation of Mary. In a painting or statue, she’s often (but not always) holding a baby Jesus.

Madonna is Italian for “my Lady” (usually the Virgin Mary).

Thanks.

The girl on the left is 'zoning' out and the girl on the right is trying to show her what's in her hands.

Umm. The girl on the right is attractive in her character... Maybe...

OK, what's up with the picture.

Once you consider her whole body language and not only her face then you'll recognize her as an very empathical and concentrated listener. For this she is of course emotional affected.
But you need a high level of affective empathy to recognize this.

Once you only concider her whole face than she seems just to be curious about what her friend has to say.
Once you are basing of a lot of cognitive empathy you'll see her this way.

Just considering her asking and knowingly eyes and her mouth you'll may find her a bit skeptical about what her friend is telling her.
Once you are basing on a bit less of cognitive empathy you'll get her this way.

Once you concider her age and her interested look only then she seems just for fun watching and listening the right girl.
Relying on experience what girls of that age are and a little less on empathy only you'll see her that way.

Once you are nearly unable to read facial expressions or body language then it's quite hard to tell anything.
But of course may your experiences cause you to see something completely different. (e.g. like Fnord)

In the end it's up to you and your personal experience and what you are relying on what you are seeing in the picture and all choices could be right.

Umm. Hang on... So high level effective empathy I don't seem to get but cognative empathy I get..Hmmm. I will need to look up what these are again... Is confusing!

Cognative... Brain has cogs... bicycle has cogs... My brain... It could be like a bicycle...

It's like an inkblot test.

Anybody can have any interpretation. There is no "right" interpretation.

Because it's a painting. You don't know what they were doing before they came to that point in the grass (unless you read about the painting).

It's really a fine piece of art. It conveys emotion well.

I said, earlier, that it's like an inkblot test in a "loose" sense.

Of course there's less room for interpretation than a classic inkblot test.
