Hundertwasser's comment on the work

The rabbis also have a "babets" box like this on their head, but I painted this by instinct. One eye is black like the night; the other shines like the moon. The picture came about "with no help from me", even though I was the one who painted it. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 635)
