The
seated couple, like king and queen on a throne, is a theme Ernst
explored in collage, here in painting, and later in sculpture.
The oddness of the couple and their attire is what makes it fantastic.
Although he gestures toward her, the man is so colorful and interesting,
the painting is more about him. They are seated in a stark surreal
landscape with a transparent castle wall, once more suggesting
the royalty theme. |
