This gouache is one of a series of studies produced between 1939 and 1945, which some consider to be an allusion to the war in progress.
It was a counterpart to another work, called "The Pope and the Emperor", or "Spiritual Authority and Temporal Power". It sums up the artist's research into abstraction.
