Description
The first pair of planets in a drawing room, Venus in a red gown, Mars reduced to a ball on a chair, intimacy in a single room. A blue-skinned woman in a red densely flounced dress and red high heels reclines on a green armchair; to the left, on a second red-and-green armchair, sits a rusty-red martian ball; behind her the background is filled by a vast pale-grey full moon disc.
