On the painting

Right in the middle, between two dark bodies, a small infant is drawn with a thin red line: a body of rings side by side, a pair of eyes, a single horizontal notch of a mouth. It stands like a diagram laid onto the flesh afterward, staying on the paint without mixing into it.

Description of the image

Overlapping grey and black bodies spread across the full width against a pale blue-white ground. At left a figure with a white ovoid head, hollow eyes and a small dark mouth raises one hand with spread fingers. At right another ovoid white head with an open mouth tops a body whose two arms lift, fingers spread. Between them a large dark torso lies horizontally, legs extending to the lower right and an arm crossing the upper centre. Red outlined circles of varying size cluster at the middle around a red oval. Thin red diagonal lines run corner to corner. Black crosses mark several chests.
