A beautiful blue and pink-hued sky surrounded by lush greenery. Within this is a tree with specks of orange and yellow, besides which is a bed where a woman is sleeping her flowing tresses falling into the foliage. Sounds dreamy? Well, it's far from it. Look towards the right corner of the painting and you see a snake with its hood raised looking at the woman. Called Lullaby Land, the metaphorical use of the snake raises a question: is this silent observer there to protect her or does it pose a threat to her freedom and joyful moment?
