This is a terse version of a saying of Jesus; 'Fortunate is the person who knows where the robbers are going to enter, so that she may arise, bring together her estate and arm herself before they enter.' I have painted this fortunate one as Saint Sophia standing amidst her weapons in front of a version of Bruegel's 'Hunters in the Snow'. The graffiti was taken from originals found in my Seattle neighborhood.
