Dennis Scholl's reclining figure is based on the depiction of the root of Jesse (also known as the Jesse tree), a common motif in Christian iconography, especially in the Middle Ag es. It depicts Jesus' descent from the house of King David as a tree of life. A tree grows from the protagonist's belly, with snakes hanging from its branches, fixed by loops. The etching is a variation on a large-format oil painting by Dennis Scholl with the same title.
