ever having seen him, my mother could not know the portrait was heavily retouched.\

Explanation:

The central idea seems to be about the mother's great love for the dictator and her day - dreams related to him. The quote "Sometimes in her daydreams, her great love wore the handsome young dictator's face" directly shows her emotional connection and day - dreaming about the dictator, which is the main theme.

Answer:

"Sometimes in her daydreams, her great love wore the handsome young dictator's face."
