Gothic Masquerade Couple in a Moonlit Courtyard
About This Gothic Masquerade Artwork
A closer look at the subject, style and details in this image.
A masked couple appears in the foreground of a Victorian gothic masquerade beneath a full moon, while other couples dance around a circular stone fountain. The woman wears a beaded red ball gown, and the man wears a black-and-white mask accented with red flowers.
Scratchy ink lines and soft washes give the scene an antique, melancholy feel, with a mostly gray palette and a single vivid red accent. The concept suits a gothic fantasy book cover or a seasonal masquerade poster.
