In this painting by Clarence Holbrook Carter, one of his usual floating heads are coming down and waiting near a winding staircase with an obstructed ending. "Carter's placement of ovoids on stairs or stairways emphasizes the immediate significations of the ovoid, the meanings that touch on the cycles of life and death." - Trapp, Dreishpoon, Pau-Llosa in Clarence Holbrook Carter book.
