In the painting you
can actually read the coins which reveal much more than we commonly
imagine. It's no accident that “In God We Trust”
is on money, and “Liberty,”

“the care or benevolent guidance of God....as the
guiding power of the universe.”

our dreams, myths and fairy tales. Today our culture has few myths
or fairy tales so the wisdom of ages is passed on by movies,
advertisements and even money. "
