DescriptionThe image depicts a central hooded figure, seated between two piles of jumbled objects; the figure's legs are spread apart, his hands rest on his thighs, and his head is turned towards the lower left corner. Behind the figure on the left there is a pile of masks with a spittoon like container placed in front of them; to the right of the figure there is a mixture of objects heaped together, the small form of a body can be seen in the upper right corner. There are subtle cloaked figures in the dark background, behind the objects and the main figure.
