"Fantastical Female Figure," depicts a woman whose body is tightly encased from the torso downward in an elaborately textured leather corset/restraint. Her breasts bear large purple flowers which have blossomed provocatively and serve to conceal her nipples. The woman's identity is hidden from the viewer by a large mask/headdress that allows her to see the observer. She stands behind a split wall and before a row of multi-colored phallic tubes or fingers. An enormous blood-red rose lies at the bottom of the painting.
