DescriptionA tree with thin black roots growing into a thick trunk and branches. 20 red circles scattered throughout suggest fruit. In the upper branches of the tree, a naked woman with her proper left leg drawn up. Below her, a naked man in profile bends over behind the tree. His face looks front but he glances up at the woman.Provenance
