Encouraged by her husband to embark on a project documenting events in her life in a series of paintings, Frida began with this. In this painting she depicts, as she would put it "...how I imagined I was born" , the head coming out is her own. The woman hidden under the sheets is a reference to her recently dead mother. In place of her mother's hidden face, Frida draws a virgin "Weeping of Sorrows" in a picture above the bed.
