This painting depicts a person with dark, curly hair and large wings, holding their head in their hands. The person's face is obscured by their hair, and their arms are raised to cover their head. The background of the painting is a light color, with some darker shading around the person's body. The person's wings are large and feathered, with a light color on the inside and a darker color on the outside. The wings are spread out to the sides, giving the impression that the person is about to take flight. The painting is a transfer drawing with colored pencil on a book page, created by French artist Jean-Luc Verna in 2002. It is held at The Museum of Modern Art.
