About this work
At a round table set with playing cards, a brass key and a rose, a bearded man in a blue coat with metal-plated cuffs operates a copper-and-teal mechanical box crowned with a clock face and a perched pale lavender bird. Beside him a woman in a strapless golden satin gown leans on the table, holding an old-fashioned earpiece to listen, her gaze toward the viewer. Dense green foliage fills the background.
Warm ochre and burgundy tones dominate the table and gown against saturated leaf-green, metal fittings picked out in cool teal and copper. Soft, even light and polished brushwork give every mechanical detail equal clarity, lending the scene a quiet, puzzling intimacy between the two figures and their strange machine.
