Thank you Kathy! Are you aware of the medium Fini painted this with?

Oil on canvas. It's in Tate Britain and is about 60 X 40 cms. The Tate's gloss includes a reference to Fini's hysterectomy the previous year but that didn't resonate with me as I looked at the picture. There are so many possible interpretations, of course. Mine is just (my own) one.

Do you like this one?

Yes, but I'm mostly a visual person so I focus on the image itself. Thanks for the info. I thought Fini had painted in egg tempera but I'll need to look it up! Thanks!
