Photo Frame, Photo Frame

Large oil-on-canvas mural panel completely filled with a rich, fanciful, brightly colored, detailed scene of a bower or garden with a blooming tree and colorful birds surrounded by eleven human figures in theatrical poses and boldly patterned costumes that blend into a joyful background illustrated with a fantasy of berries, flowers and leaves, a leaping gazelle and the outline of a village along a semicircular line. Four of the human figures wear headdresses, including cone-shaped hennins with veil and a starched cornette wimple that remind of medieval characters. A figure in the upper right corner holds an arrow and bow in a cupid-like manner; a couple captured in a curtsy holds hands, another couple is in a lateral embrace, one figure holds up a net as if hunting a bird, the woman wearing a wimple sleeps, and three seated figures with harlequinesque costumes either observe or hold their hands close to their face in an expression of surprise. The lively and colorful scene is depicted in styilized and simplified manner and feels flat with no perspective. The background is subdivided in boldly colored, curved, puzzle-like areas.
