The Sheep reminds me of a painting by Pablo Picasso called the Weeping Woman. The Weeping Woman was painted by Pablo Picasso in the year of 1937 in France. The woman in the picture is actually Dora Maar, Pablo Picasso's mistress.
The painting can relate to the whole chapter, as it shows the people that Satrapi cared about left dead. The deaths of the cared ones can relate to the Weeping Woman painting as it displays grief in which Marjane Satrapi felt when she heard the news of Mohsen's death (page. 65) and also Anoosh's. The painting shows darkness in the dress and hat just like the last frame of the chapter (page. 71) in which Satrapi is surrounded by a pitch black background that shows loss, grief, sadness. The part where the Marjane's parents lie to her about Uncle Anoosh can relate to my personal life too as when I was a young boy my parents would sometimes lie to me to make me feel less sad (page.67).
I chose this painting because it was a painting that we saw in class, and when I read the chapter "The Sheep," I immediately thought of this painting, as it's so similar to the situation that Marjane Satrapi experienced.
