Deserted Bridge with Figure
1934

A surreal painting depicting a woman with a birdcage for a head standing in front of a towering bridge structure with a clear blue sky in the background. The bridge's architecture features prominent beams and cables, and there's a large, classical column on the right. The woman is dressed in a white, vintage-style dress and appears to be holding a piece of cloth or garment. The overall scene combines elements of urban architecture with a dreamlike transformation of the human figure.
