The masks have various facial expressions and features, such as eyes, noses, and mouths. Some of them have head coverings or hats, while others are bare-headed. The masks are painted in a bold and vibrant style, with thick brushstrokes and vivid colors. The background of the painting is a light grayish-blue color, which provides a subtle contrast to the bright colors of the masks.
