Original artwork description:
The only eye showing the masked face in the foreground with the only eye visible in the face in profile, emblem of the King of French playing cards who dominates much of the painting, they scrutinize, question or ideally head for an "elsewhere". They also do so through the seal of a fan of cards that partly conceals and divides the two mysterious figures, but perhaps largely unites and reveals, as if something wanted to make it clear that it is part of a "game" bigger than us. In the painting, in Surrealist style, a glimpse of the Baptistery of St. John, one of the oldest churches in Florence, dedicated to the patron saint of the city, also emerges, overlooked by the mysterious apparitions.
Materials used:
Oil colors on canvas
