Title

In the Moonlight Drunk with Delight

Description

In the Moonlight Drunk with Delight a masked female figure gripping a tree stands at the center bottom of this small composition. Behind her, on the right side, is a strange geometric figure, whose outstretched arms face another small seated figure wearing an animal headdress. In the bottom left hand corner an abstract figure with an animated owl on its back descends toward the bottom of the canvas. Elsewhere in the painting are two birds prepared to land and various sticks and leaves.
