portrait of the Intended made by Mr. Kurtz is a form of a statue, which can be compared with the Lady Justice statue and Statue of Liberty. The Intended is blindfolded in the portrait as is the Lady Justice and she is holding a torch as does the Statue of Liberty. “Then I noticed a small sketch in oils, on a panel, representing a women draped and blindfolded carrying a lighted torch. The background was somber almost black. The movement of the women was stately, and the effect of the torchlight on the face was sinister.” (Conrad 67) The Intended is always considered as the women who is in love with Kurtz and even one year after his death, she is still mourning.
