b) Job and the Judgement of Paris (1966) by Ernst Fuchs

 

 

 

 

c.) The central column from Ernst Fuch's painting and the central part of Alien Life Cycle Hieroglyphics

 

 

d) The near oval shape at the top become the pregnant sun like form in the centre of the Egyptian Nut Goddess like character's body

f) An upper near oval shape in the decoration perhaps becomes an egg as well.

 

 

 

g) The central oval with a woman with raised arms becomes the egg with a Face Hugger leaping out.

 

 

 

e) Perhaps the raised arms of the naked woman become the hands of the Chest Burster , while the oval shape on the side of the column becomes the bottom egg as well

 

 

 

 

h) So this central bottom  would of the painting would be transformed into the lower egg although it looks as mentioned above he took elements from an ear slightly further up

 

 

i) This would be the nearest comparable area from Fuchs painting relating to the face hugger leaping,

 

 

j) We can see how the large serpents would become the limbs of the Nut Goddess figure as well.

k) This area on the lower left might well correspond to the dead face hugger on the lower right
