Memory of Childhood
1961

A painting depicting a stylized figure with an obscured face, draped in dark robes, sitting next to an owl perched on the figure's shoulder. A fox-like creature stands on its hind legs, resting its front paws on the figure's knee. The background is minimal, with a blend of white and red tones, and the signature "Badison" is visible at the bottom.
