Ball painting is always pompous, luxurious, pretentious. The paintings depict characters who care very much about their appearance and the impression produced on others. Even if this is not a masquerade, the characters try to hide their true face, presenting instead an artificially created image, but the skillful brush of the artist always clears up the situation and shows the viewer all the facets of the plot.
