surrealist, cartoonish painting. At center on an earthen platform is a large object like the bottom of a pink broken egg, the inside being solid with cracks that look like an earthquake. around this object is a flurry of activity with human cartoon-like characters furiously building, on left, a large stone building with scaffolding, and on right are remnants of a stone house.

Foreground left: woman in late 19th Century red dress, corset, and sunhat sitting in a booth of burgundy upholstery with her elbows on a plain, almost modern-looking table with a tray and some glasses and a caraffe.

Medusa by Jean Delville (1893)

by
Colored pencil. Miniature. Closeup of a woman's face, her hair a big tangled mess of blue glowing snakes, and she is holding on each side of her head, just above eye level, two dishes full of a blue liquid that the snakes are feasting on. She has a blank expression, and her eyes glow white in a creepy way. there are incense burners emitting wavy lines of smoke all around her.

Melancholia by Domenico Fetti (1615)

by
Woman in billowy but simple Renaissance dress, on her knees with her arms on a table, cradling a skull with her right hand and holding her forehead with her left. Her eyes are red as though crying. On the floor below is a large open book and a dog, and a statue of a man, all looking old and discarded.

The Giantess (The Guardian of the Egg) by Leonora Carrington (1947)

by
Full-body portrait of a gigantic woman in a bulky red robe and fur-collared white cape that completely hide her body except her disproportionately small bare feet, head, and hands which are holding a small egg. Giant birds are flying around her and out of her cape, and at her feet is a landscape with small people and animals, showing the woman's gigantic size. the background is a sea with similarly small boats and fish.
