A young woman viewed in profile wearing a grotesque mask and dressed in a sixteenth-century manner with clasped hands. Perhaps she holds a framed mirror that reflects the chamber’s architecture. Between the masked woman and the architectural references is an idealized profile, a young girl, the girl behind the mask? These images are caprices, expressions of moment at the time, but lacking a program, and certainly not intended as preparation for a planned picture. The medium is chalk or charcoal on newsprint, the pad with dimensions of 18 x 24. It dates from 1962.
