About this work
A pale-skinned woman with dark hair sits at the right, knees drawn up, holding a red masquerade mask to her eyes; a black cloak pools around her bare legs. To the left, a view of Venice's domed Salute church and waterfront palazzi is reflected in dark canal water, painted in a separate, more realistic register from the flattened figure beside it.
A flat gold ground fills the upper half like gilding, interrupted by a dark, wing-like shape, while the cityscape below is worked in browns, greys and white highlights with a soft, almost photographic finish. The contrast between the decorative gold field and the muted, atmospheric water view gives the scene a hushed, secretive evening mood.
