Body
It seems to me that the painting is inspired by the description of the
suburban map in *Despair, *chapter three:
*Let us suppose I am holding that map before me; then the city of Berlin,
which is outside the picture, maybe imagined somewhere in the vicinity of my
left elbow.[...]the railway line, which, metaphysically at least, runs along
my sleeve cuffward from Berlin. My wristwatch is the small town of
Koenigsdorf,[...]where there is another circle (the lower button of my
waistcoat): Eichenberg.[...]the main road, leaves it and continues nirth
alone, straight to the village of Waldau (the nail of my left thumb). *
