Description: A sleeping giant lies on the ground, large enough that only his head and the upper half of his torso are visible in the picture. A man in glasses stands on the giant’s chest, observing his face. Another man, carrying a mallet, leans against the side of the giant’s face. Above their heads is the letter A, from “After”.
