Title not known (Al-Mukhtar 19)

Subject

Obscured portrait of a monstrous man

Description

This macabre portrait, by Mukhallad Al-Mukhtar, features the monstrous bust of an older man portrayed with fang teeth and red eyes. Two greenish hands with sharp nails emerge out of this abstracted background holding the severed head of a small child. The remainder of the composition is obscured by the erratic application of color smears.
