Sam Hersbach's Eyes and Pearls shows figures against a bright purple background that try to catch a necklace with eye shaped pearls that dangles from a leaf of a branch in the upper part of the painting. On the right a harnassed figure on a balcony tries to reach it with his spear, on the left a small figure carried by a snake reaches out as well. Despite the turmoil with the gruesome detail of the green figure whose head is severed from his body the painting radiates a cheerful energy characteristic for Sam Hersbach's bold and daring way of painting.
