This piece portrays and actor putting on his makeup. He is in Shakespearean garb with a quote engraved on the plinth that reads:
"All the world's a stage,
And men and women merely players;
They have their exits and entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts.
As You Like It, II, vii
William Shakespeare"
The piece is both a tribute to the actor as well as the many roles we play in our life.
