Brilliant hybrid image of one of Michals' male models with an 1878 scientific engraving entitled “Passing a Ray of Sunlight (White Light) through a Prism and Breaking it Down into its Component Colors”, perfectly illustrating the mental and psychological effort the human subject depicted went through in designing his ultimately easily dismissed question as documented in the narrative below in Michal's signature idiosyncratic cursive script.
