Description

A still life features a theatrical paper mache mask of a whimsical animal character with pointed ears and a feathery collar, suspended above a transparent sphere with a ball inside. The mask is painted white with red and grey accents. Its large red mouth is smiling. Below the mask, a clear glass sphere encases a ball with red and black stripes, topped with a swirling blue accent. The smooth surface beneath the sphere reflects the forms. The composition is against a bright yellow backdrop, which provides a simple studio setting for the objects.
