We would like to know who is surrendering and why (the white flag); what the question mark (river) represents; who is the artist and does he always paint himself into his paintings?

Who discovered that the upside down clear cut was a hebrew word for "almighty?"
Is the red and white cloth on the pole a flag or a parasol? Does it signify surrender?
Is that a person below it?
