Could it be that this is the very same banana that Neanderthal Man wanted to give to Robinson Crusoe as a present?

Oh, by the way "Rosa" is German for "pink" so that's why she wears a pinkish shirt.

Prompt snippets

Rosa Luxemburg is a woman with a strong profile and penetrating, observant dark eyes. She has dark, thick hair, styled in a practical yet somewhat soft pompadour. Her face is expressive and intense, with a serious or thoughtful expression. She wears dark, utilitarian attire common for early 20th-century intellectuals: a dark, high-necked blouse with a simple white collar, tucked into a high-waisted, floor-length dark wool skirt (A-line silhouette). Her posture conveys determination and intellect.
