Masterful and truly mysterious 20th century surrealist painting, oil (I believe) on stretched canvas. The unexplained goings-on appear to me to be a monastic interior with a grotesque guest, the flowering fiend has left a cluster of nearly trompe l'oeil droplets on the wall. It is dated ('84), signed and inscribed on back, though I can not make the signature. This measures about 22.5" wide and tall, including the gilt wood frame. Condition is excellent with age appropriate wear.
