THE PAINTING
In the stuffy Baroque interior we see four figures. In the middle, the headpiece, standing on the axis of symmetry of the image in a rich textured suit, gold glow, next to it, to the right and to the left, in an evening dress, mirror of each other. The latter are pouring flowers out of vases onto the ground. A table overturned in the middle, with a squatting, naked figure next to it as a symbol of fall, raw reality, compensates for the dominance of the female figure, which represents wealth, which stands out from its surroundings. The style of the interior, built in warm tones, is determined by various use and ornaments: piano, secretaire, candlestick, tapestries, red velvet armchairs, translucent glass chandeliers, silver and gold glow shines the visionary space.
