  • The Woman-Devil enters the composition diagonally, moving from the lower left corner toward the upper right, with her left arm raised and her right arm lowered. The lower edge of the painting cuts the figure at the thighs, showing only the upper part of her body
  • The entire painting is rendered in patches of brown tones in the background, warm light ochres on the woman’s body, and green reflections on the devil’s face
  • The devilish impression is primarily achieved through expressive drawing and the previously mentioned green reflection on the devil’s face, touched by a few intense red lines, interpreted here as strands of hair
  • The artist’s signature, in white, is located near the lower right corner, leaving some uncertainty about the exact year of the painting’s creation
