“Unos Cuantos Piquetitos” was a painting done by Frida Kahlo in 1935. Frida named the painting after what the man said during court. The picture shows a woman laying on a bed, surrounded by her blood; she has been stabbed multiple times and seems dead. The woman is also naked, with only one shoe and pantyhose on her right foot. Next to her stands a man that is wearing a hat, a white shirt stained with blood and has scissors in his hand, a symbol Frida uses in her paintings to symbolize cutting ties. The man’s face shows sorrow (which is described by the tears in his eyes), but a grinning smile follows that sad face as he looks at the woman’s dead body. Kahlo placed both subjects in a small room, a room that is tainted with blood yet feels romantic, violent and slightly peaceful. Blood might be completely over the floor, but the green color that makes up the ground contrasts beautifully with the red, creating a balance that makes the painting a bit less harsh. Above both subjects, there are two doves, one is black, and one is white; they are holding a banner that has the name of the painting written on it. Kahlo did not finish there, she added red paint and a few dents to a rough yet simple border, delivering to the audience, the violence that is depicted in the scene. Frida composed this like an exvoto, which is a painting done as an offering to a saint. She also puts immense emotion into it, since she related to the pain the woman must’ve felt (Frida viewed the woman as a projection of her misery that came with the divorce from Diego.)
