Ivory Mask with Black and Burgundy Feathers Painting - Carnival Silence - Venice Mask Edition

The visual

The portrait features a masked figure wearing a wide hat adorned with black plumes and more discreet burgundy touches on the right edge. The mask itself, in ivory and embellished with golden arabesques, hides the face while revealing a dark and intense gaze. Brown hair escapes from under the hat, framing the face in a natural way. A burgundy ribbon tied under the chin holds a crumpled white collar, evoking the traditional costumes of the Venetian carnival. A black-gloved hand, placed near the lips painted in deep red, adds dramatic tension to the scene. The background, treated in a light monochrome, subtly evokes a Venetian architecture. The pictorial technique, with visible thick brushstrokes, gives the whole a sculptural texture and a great richness of material.
