   Never mind -- since sending this post to the moderator, I noticed the   
   radiators in the painting -- a dark reddish square sticking out away   
   from the "camera" from the central stalk on the back side of the   
   habitat.  They're almost edge-on since they're pointing directly in line   
   with the sunlight, as one would expect.
