This work shows two children carrying a wounded angel with his eyes closed on two sticks.

 Hugo Simberg did not explain about this work and preferred to be interpreted according to everyone's opinion.  Some say that the angel is a symbol of the human soul, which is offended and does not use its wings, which are a symbol of freedom, and is carried by two boys, which is a symbol of the rawness and inexperience of the human body.  One of the children is looking directly at us, indicating our conscience.  Others say that the angel is a symbol of Finland, which was severely wounded and offended after the domination of Russia, and that children represent the young generation that carries this country.  However, there are different interpretations

It must have had a very specific meaning, but the interpretations that have been made are not far from expected
