The expression on the faces of the »Erinyes« or »Furies« has a particularly offensive effect. The goddesses of vengeance turn angrily against the viewer. They represent the negative aspects of the so-called »invisible planets« Neptune, Pluto and Uranus. The branches of the old and very withered olive tree behind them reach out, like an extension of the furrows in their faces, towards the sky.
