The title recalls that of Ravel's opera-ballet performed for the first time in 1925, which speaks of a child who relates to nature and the objects that surround him, first in an impatient and cruel way, and then in an aware and repented. The atmosphere of the painting well represents the nocturnal melancholy that frames the transfigured and mysterious garden in which the child's figure moves: almost by magic, the child's face emerges from the dark and dense colors of the background, but this melts into disturbing drippings that branch out on almost abstract backgrounds.
