This painting shows three faces stacked on top of each other. The top face is pale with big eyes and a small smile. The middle face is darker, wearing a cap. The bottom face is smiling wide, with bold outlines and bright colors. Behind them are big, empty shapes in gray and orange. The artist used flat colors and clear lines to make the faces stand out. The empty shapes behind them look like they could be masks or shadows. Look up gouache next to see how this soft paint works.
