This painting is entitled The Broken Column by Frida Kahlo in 1944. Frida expresses her suffering and pain in a vivid and horrific way. This can be seen from the presence of nails on various sides of his body. Even on each torso, there was an iron stick in the middle until it was close to his chin. This painting tells about the suffering of Frida Kahlo who experienced excruciating back pain, due to a bus accident in Mexico, which almost killed her. Luckily Frida survived, but her body is no longer as before.

Pain in his body, almost every day he felt due to the accident. In his lifetime he underwent 35 surgeries on his body and became infertile, due to various post-accident surgeries. In this painting Frida Kahlo associates herself as in the painting The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian (1525) because in this painting, Saint Sebastian is tied to a tree and is being targeted by arrows. Frida is also depicted here, being the target of a nail being thrown.
