Bought this bizarre picture and would like to know if anyone could identify what it is?
As far as I know the yellow armband was significant in Germany to highlight visually impaired members of the public.

I found this in Tineye. Apparently it's by Gottfried Helnwein.

I don't know what the artist means with this painting but somebody else wrote this on the internet about this painting:

One shows a girl with a cheeky face and blind band around the arm that sticks out her tongue. At first I smiled. Who can remain longer see the view, that the girl blood running down between his legs. It was obviously abused, it was done violence .... Yes, children are vulnerable. Childhood can be cruel when children are exposed. I think of sexual abuse, an incredible form of torture to people who are suffering from the trauma of life. I think of child soldiers in Togo, Congo, Sudan. Ruined lives, brutally sacrificed for stupid power struggles in which destruction is the paramount consideration, in which there are no more goals. I think of children in India who toil to earn just five years to a few coins, so their family can survive. I think of the 12-year-old Judith Wischnajatskaja who wrote in July 1942 in her last letter: "Dear Father! Before the death I take my leave of you, we want to live so much, but it does not leave us, we will perish. I'm so afraid of this death, because small children are thrown alive into the pit. "
