About this work
A young woman with dark curly hair and a yellow puffed-sleeve dress stands behind a chessboard, holding a comedy mask and a tragedy mask crossed on thin rods above her shoulders. Two pairs of disembodied hands reach in from either side to move the black and white pieces, set on a pedestal lined with round clock-like dials.
A deep blue night sky with a crescent moon and streaking comets frames the woman's pale skin and bright yellow costume under even, cool light. Smooth, polished brushwork renders the masks and chess pieces with hard, doll-like precision, lending the composition a staged, allegorical air about performance and calculated moves.
