Description

A still life captures a masquerade mask crafted from a light tan, bread-like material. The mask sits to the left of center against a dark gray background. The light highlights the textures of the mask, creating a soft shadow to its right. Above the mask and in the top right corner, a gold beaded string of jewelry adorns the background with the beads featuring red, green, and gold accents. Below the mask, the surface changes from dark gray to white and a single gold bead sits in the foreground. The lighting is bright, highlighting the objects and their shadows.
