Venetian Mask Maker Gilds Plague Doctor in Library
by Lily Cote
Warm candlelight glows across the ornate wooden desk where a Venetian mask maker applies gold leaf to a beaked plague doctor mask. The artisan’s hands, steady and focused, hold a fine brush against the white porcelain beak. Sunlight from a high window casts long, golden shadows across the polished floor of the library reading room. Condensation beads on the nearby glass pane, catching the firelight. The room is lined with dark leather-bound books and heavy velvet curtains that frame the workspace. Negative space surrounds the figure, showing the solitude of the task. at the edge is a single flake of gold leaf resting on the edge of the mask's eye socket.
