Hannibal, Season One, Episode Five - Coquilles
Mrs. Crawford, your husband introduced you as Bella. Are you an Isabelle or an Annabelle?
And I’m going to remember that your hands… that they smelled of thyme when you came in from the garden. And garlic and onions every time you left the kitchen.
We were both stationed in Italy. I was Army, she was NATO staff. All of the Italian men kept calling her, “Bella, Bella, Bella.” Well, I wanted her to be my Bella.
Iโve wanted to paint Bella Crawford for ages, and this moment in particular, with its softness and the clasped hands, has always fascinated me <:
I hope you like it too :)

What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others… That’s beyond us.
