Typical of Flint's style, this painting reveals an angular construction reminiscent of Cubism. The image is largely abstracted, yet still contains the recognizable subject of the sun in a sky of indeterminate depth. The allegorical title is deliberately vague, allowing viewers to interpret the image as they choose.
