"Boy bitten by lizard" is in the center of the scene, surrounded by different representations of carnal love. On the right, a hot, red bath symbolizes passionate love that cannot wait and must be consummated instantly. On the left, an undone bedroom with cool colors represents reserved love that is consumed in private, but to emphasize the continuous unsatisfied longing. In front of the subject are objects representing voracious love of food, an animal skull representing love that consumes you, and a vodoo doll with a needle in its heart representing unrequited love that cannot be accepted. Next to the subject is a woman dressed in red with her back exposed, representing for the author the most erotic part of the woman. Finally, the subject tries to grab a key in the center of a cruet, but the hand that could grab it vanishes because the author wants to emphasize that only through a material act.
