A late canvas by Carrington, completed in 1987.

The lovers in intimate proximity echoed? by the snake and cat at the foot of the bed. Overhead, a blue bird flies. Does it echo her lost love Max Ernst's Loplop, Father Superior of the Birds?

Loplop et la Belle Jardinière from 1929's La Femme 100 têtes

And a different spin than her interpretation of The Lovers for her Tarot deck, itself an interesting variation on the version depicted on many decks:
