/// This self-portrait of Paul Claude-Michel
Carpentier with his wife, named Adèle,
shows their daughter Clémence,
who’s the object of taunts
for she’s never come out of her shell.
/// Though portrayed here with grace and aplomb,
she is far too attached to her Mom.
When Adèle goes somewhere,
Clémence wails in despair,
and until Mom returns won’t be calm.
