Here, Ernst uses a variety of techniques – from traditional oil painting to the interspersion of very “non-artistic” elements, such as, for example, an electric bell button, to which an anthropomorphic person stretches, holding a little girl in an armful.
A tiny, barely perceptible nightingale in the sky does not bring peace to this work – on the contrary, it tells her even more anxiety.
