This oil painting presents a surrealist composition centered on an enormous, pale blue head lying in repose, its eyes closed in death or sleep. Surrounding the head are smaller human figures rendered in warm ochre and red tones, holding aloft what appear to be candles or torches. The dark background emphasizes the cool blue tones of the central figure and the warm illumination of the witnesses, creating a dreamlike funeral or memorial scene with symbolic, non-literal proportions.
