As is often the case in her work, Andrea Freckmann mixes interior and exterior in A Painter's Play. The houses in a dune lanscape are combined with the furniture on the carpet in the front of the image.
The upper part of the painting shows a diamond pattern with a bird on a loose rope. The landscape and furniture come from Andrea Freckmann's immediate environment, she thus thematizes her own life that she puts on a stage as it were.
