analogue of the autumn carnival. •
Old Holland oil paint on a medium smallish canvas. Has the carnival not arrived, or has it already moved on? The fallen fan suggests the latter, while the rather chilly nude figure struggles to remove or examine her mask. The little Merlin sits atop her perch, inscrutable, while the inadequate curtain - or bedsheet? - catches the wind. The oil lamp, precariously teetering on a cardboard carton, casts very little light upon the proceedings... Farther off, the director appears to argue with the costume designer. The mood is enigmatic.
