Breton's theories affected the psychological innuendo in her surreal works. She also admired hieronymus Bosch and Brueghel. Her painting shows images of apprehension, pain and death which float on the bathwater. She painted her own legs from the bathers viewpoint- her toe deformed and racked illudes to her acident and later operations. The rpe lassos the neck and waist of a drowned Frida who has blood spurting from her mouth and whose naked flesh has turned grey. Her paintings are more real than surreal- most of the images are closly tied to events or feelings in Frida's life. This painting depicts the saddness of the events in her life, and it was a painting that expressed how she looked at herself in the bathtub. We may not know what every image meant to her.
