On the painting

The hand at the end of the arm reaching to the right is not quite a fist, the fingers not closed; it could be about to strike, it could be reaching to hold something. The palm is empty, and nothing burning is visible in the painting.

Description of the image

Pink and red rounded lobes build a single figure that fills most of a vertical canvas, streaked with white and orange. The rounded head carries two large oval eyes under heavy brows and a small mouth. One arm reaches to the right edge, ending in a splayed hand with separated fingers; the other drops along the left side. Both legs bend, and two long flat feet spread across the bottom. The ground behind is brushed in dark green, brown and black, with pale peach and a small blue patch at upper left and ochre at the right edge. White marks sit at lower right.
