This striking artwork features nine stylized heads arranged in two rows against a black background. The heads are rendered in a stark, simplified style with a palette dominated by pale pinks, oranges, purples, and white. Each figure has distinct features and expressions, with some displaying dramatic elements like dripping paint effects and bold color contrasts. The central figure is particularly dramatic, painted primarily in white with stark black details and cross-marked eyes. The overall composition creates an unsettling mood through its use of distorted features, harsh color transitions, and deliberately crude rendering style. Paint drips and splatters add to the raw, emotional quality of the piece. The title "Physiognomic Phantasmagoria" aptly describes this parade of haunting visages, each one seeming to emerge from the darkness with its own distinct character and emotional resonance.
