The extreme right painting shows a strong monstrous animal with its mouth The creature is blindfolded, with a white cloth and the gnashing teeth, protruding from the outstretched neck, an inspired imitation of the Christ being disgraced and blindfolded. The central creation was prodigiously perturbing and grievous, looking straight at the bystander. This limbless organism is placed on a stool and has a long neck, round shoulders, and a hairy head. The first art piece from left bears analogy to human form that appeared to lament and express a profound act of sorrow, with its head stooping in respect at the cross.
The 94cm x 74cm oil and pastel on an inexpensive Sundeala board, Francis' "Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion," represents the crucifixion of Jesus, with that of two thieves too, on his either sides. The bodies of the creatures are done in grey and white, while their props are hued in the shades of yellow, green, white, and purple. The hue in that mourning, post war period, in a way inspired people to resurrect and see a new dawn. This intriguing and inconsistently shaded background color incensed emotions in the viewers. Still, many called them mammoth sized animals attributing to human shape and characteristics (anthromorphs), on a background that resembled that of the discordant rusty orange setting sun.
Bacon conceptualized "Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion" from the Greek mythology of three goddesses of vengeance (The Furies), Alecto, Tisiphone, and Megaera, who would chastise the perpetrators of humanly un-avenged immoralities.
