Her doctor, Dr Eloesser, prescribed complete bed rest and a fattening diet of puréed food every two hours. In this painting, the artist portrays what she considered to be a "forced feeding" diet.

Her arms seem to be pinned beneath the blankets and she is unable to control the situation….the situation seems to be "Without Hope". On the back of the painting Frida inscribed the following entry: "A mí no me queda ya ni la menor esperanza….Todo se mueve al compás de lo que encierra la panza."
