This unsettling painting depicts a pale, elongated figure against a dark background, shown in profile and tilted upward at a sharp angle. The figure appears to be melting or distorting, with flesh tones stretching and dripping downward, creating an effect reminiscent of wax or thick paint. The mouth is open in what could be interpreted as a scream or gasp, with a single eye visible and bulging. The neck extends into the lower portion of the frame, creating a stark contrast between the pale flesh tones and the deep, almost black background. The painting is housed in an ornate golden baroque-style frame with elaborate scrollwork and decorative elements, which adds a striking contrast to the disturbing nature of the image itself.
