"Max Ernst's lithograph Elektra was originally intended as an illustration to Paul Éluard's cycle of poems Chanson complète. Ernst emphasizes the affective in E.: the facial features of the figure, standing alone in an agitated posture on the stage, are represented just by three empty wide-open cavities." (Moog-Gruenewald, s.v. "Electra", 258).
