This contemporary Print work on paper or board depicts a figure in a costume suggestive of the Venetian Carnival or Commedia dell’arte. The figure is shown from the waist up, wearing a mask and an elaborate headdress accented with gold leaf. The style is expressive and gestural, combining thin washes of sienna, taupe, and cream with thicker applications of white paint and charcoal-like drawing. The figure features voluminous, ruffled sleeves and is shown holding a stem with two red floral elements at the bottom centre. In the lower right corner, there is a hand-painted monogram in black consisting of a capital D with a triangular stroke attached to its vertical stem, forming a ligature of the letters A and D. The work is housed in a substantial, ornate gilt wood frame with beaded and gadrooned mouldings under glass.
