This hermaphroditic figure in The Glass of Milk stands out for its inventive pivotal hand under the chin, ironically evoking, from two different, simultaneous perspectives, a new need for purity. That eccentric spirit that Corrado Pavolini called "displaced," characteristic of Conti's entire oeuvre, seems to reach its peak in this painting.
