Label copy

This painting depicts a barely clothed young man with blood streaming down his face; he emerges from the woods, carrying a baby goat. The relationship between the man and the kid is left disturbingly ambiguous, with no clear indication given as to whether the man was wounded while helping the animal or while forcibly abducting it. Dufresene’s intense evocation of violence-the blood on the man’s face-contrasts with the lustrous, inviting quality of the tree leaves and other vegetation surrounding the figures.
